WAT TRAPHANG-THONG-LANG
A square mondop is the main sanctuary. In front of the mondop to the east, is the viharn and beyond the viharn
stands an ubosot. The southern side portrays the Lord Buddha flanked by angles decending from Tavatimsa
Heaven. To the west portrays the Lord Buddha preaching to his father and relatives. The northern side depicts
the episode when the Lord Buddha returned to preach to his wife. These stucco figures, especially those on the
south side, are masterpieces of Sukhothai art.
