WAT PHRA-PHAI-LUANG
This temple lies about 500 metres north of San Luang Gate. This sanctuary, formerly a Khmer-Hindu shrine
but later converted into a Buddhist monastery, is surrounded by a moat. It is second in importance to Wat
Mahathat. Inside, there are three prangs like Wat Si-Sawai, but the southern and the central ones have
crumbled leaving only the northern one decorated with stucco figures. In front of these prangs are a viharn
and a crumbled chedi; the later has a pedestal decorated with stucco seated Buddha images. A mondop
contains Buddha images in four postures; sitting, reclining, standing, and walking. They are now all on
ruins. A Sivalinga ( Phallic emblem of Hindu gods ) was unearthed in the compound of this sanctuary.
