Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat was founded in 1357 by the King of the Sukhothai Kingdom. The temple is most famous for the Buddha image which was cast specifically to be enshrined at the temple. This statue, known as the Phra Buddha Chinnarat or Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, is 375 cm tall and plated in gold. Around the body of the Lord Buddha is an aureole (halo) shaped like a flame. The statue is considered by many to be the most beautiful Buddha statue in Thailand and the shrine hall where the Phra Buddha Chinnarat statue is located is normally full of visitors and worshippers all day round. Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat also features a large central prang (Khmer style tower) with a chapel inside that you can reach by climbing some very step stairs, a small museum, and a very large and ornate assembly hall built in the 18th Century. Particularly noteworthy are the wooden doors added to the assembly hall in the 19th Century which are decorated with mother of pearl inlays.
