Next to the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum, this small, still-inhabited wát with fine stucco reliefs is reached by a footbridge across the large lotus-filled pond that surrounds it. This reservoir, allegedly the original site of Thailand’s Loi Krathong festival, supplies the Sukhothai community with most of its water.
