Description: |
|
About 7 kilometers from town on the Phichit-Wang Chick road (No.
1068) is Utthayan Mueang Kao Pichit, or the Old City Park. The
park features the ruins of an ancient town dating back more than
900 years. Most of the structures discovered were built during
the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya eras. The old town is surrounded by
city walls and moats, and during the Sukhothai period it was
called Muang Sa Luang. It was situated on the original bank of
the Nan River before the river changed its course, forcing the
town to relocate to the new bank in circa 1881 during the reign
of King Rama V. In the town center is Wat Phra Si Rattana
Mahathat with its large bell-shaped Chedi (stupa), inside of
which hundreds of precious votive tablets were found. In front
of the Chedi are the remains of a Wihan (image hall). There are
scores of small Chedis scattered around the site. There is also
an arboretum, a peaceful place for visitors to relax, as well as
sculptures of important characters from Thai literature. The
Old City Park is located on Phichit-Wang Chik Road, about 8
kilometers from Phichittownship. It is open daily from 8.00
am-5.00 pm. |
