It is the single most striking image in Sukhothai, and the small chapel makes the scale feel impossible. Go early when the light comes through the opening.
How to visit it well
- It sits outside the central zone, 2km north — cycle there.
- Morning light hits the face best.
- Combine with Wat Phra Phai Luang nearby.
