Located just outside the historical park, this temple is often overlooked by visitors. What a shame! Wat Si Chum is famous for its enormous, stucco-decorated, seated Buddha. It's the largest of its kind in Thailand, measuring 15 meters. Through an opening in the front wall, you can admire it long before entering the building. Standing before the Buddha makes you feel tiny.

Entrance fee: 100 THB (this is normally the price for the entire area, but the ticket sales and control desk is located only in front of Wat Si Chum)

Between the central part of the historical park and Wat Si Chum lies a cycle path approximately 1 km long.

Wat Si Chum is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
