★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The two most common depictions at Wat Si Sawai are multi-headed serpents and makaras (a reptile) both are spewing garlands. There are openings at the base of each of the three prangs, but not much is inside to observe.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wat Si Sawai is one of the oldest temples in Sukhothai. It's origin dates back to the XII century, by the Khmer as a Hindu sanctuary dedicated to Shiva. Later on during the Sukhothai period, the Wat Si Sawai was converted into a Buddhist temple and two viharns were added.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A classic temple with Khmer influence. Originally it was built as a Hindu temple but was transformed into a Buudhist temple later. There are classic architectural styles of the Angkor periods with the maize lie prang (spire) adorned with The mythical nagas and celestial beings. Images of Buddha are carved into the niches on the prang reflecting the mingling of two religions. It's boundary wall is constructed out of laterite. The same material used in some Khmer temples around the Angkor areas in Siem Reap. Definitely a beautiful place to visit.
