Presentation Wat Si Chum

Thai name : วัดศรีชุม

GPS : 17.02721667,99.69428833 (See on the map)

My opinion:

A little outside the historical park, this temple is often overlooked by visitors. it is a pitty ! Wat Si Chum is remarkable for its huge sitting Buddha covered with stucco. This is the largest of this type in Thailand. It is 15 meters high. An opening in the front wall allows you to discover it long before entering the building that houses it. In front of the Buddha, you feel so small.
