The closer I came, the higher the Buddha appeared, and when I reached its base, it dwarfed me completely, only its hand with slender fingers being just smaller than me. Behind the statue, there are steps leading up to the head. This Buddha is also called the talking Buddha, and according to legend, a Thai king once assembled his troops in front of this Buddha and made it talk to inspire his soldiers. Probably, someone from behind the head did the mysterious talking. From here, it the Wat Phrai Phai Luang was close, a complex that actually predates the Sukhothai period and has Khmer elements. It is in a worse shape than most other temples but still worth the trip. Leaving the small island of this wat took me back to the main road and back to old Sukhothai.
