Wat Si Chum

Little visited but much photographed, the small temple of Wat Si Chum in the ancient Siamese capital of Sukhothai contains the remains of a small chapel (mondop) that barely encloses a serenely seated Buddha image.

Ruins of plaster-covered brick columns behind which is a tall square building with a narrow slit entry through which can be seen a Buddha image.
View through the ruined prayer hall to the chapel.
