While Sukhothai is famous, Si Satchanalai is often forgotten. That seems to be a mistake, the temples and nature of Si Satchanalai park are very worth the trip.
My first stop was the main temple of Si Satchanalai, Wat Chang Lom. The elephant of the river followed me with his supervisor. The temple is situated in the heart of the old town, was constructed in the late 13th century, and its main chedi is square. It was probably built by King Ramkhamhaeng and has 39 statues of elephants all around it, although I must say that I didn't directly recognize the remains of the statues as being elephants. Nevertheless, I liked this temple so much that I returned after visiting the others. Among those were Wat Chedi Ched Thaeo, remarkable for its many chedis, Nang Phaya with its elaborate decorations on stucco, and Wat Suan Kaew Uthayan Yai.
