Three large prangs, adorned with stucco have been built here by the Khmers, before the Thai Kingdom. The decorative motifs are both Hindu and Buddhist.

Later on, a chedi and several viharns have been added to the East of the prangs.They are adorned by offerings. Among the ruins, only small fragments of statues remind on the might and wealth of old Sukhotai.

In the Eastern part of the temple, it was a mandapa which contained Buddha images in four postures: standing, reclining, walking and sitting. They have been made of red brickes, plastered and colored.

This place, with its monuments, confirms the contacts of the local communities with the Khmers and demonstrate the evolution of theThai people.

Aproape de marea poarta de nord a Orasului Vechi Sukhotai, se afla Wat Phra Phai Luang, cu ruinele a numeroase cladiri, care demonstreaza etapele de evolutie a orasului. Ele sunt inconjurate de cate un sant larg, plin cu apa, de cate 600 m lungime pe fiecare latura.

Trei turnuri mari, impodobite cu stucatura, dateaza dinaintea fondarii Regatului Thai si au fost construite de khmeri. Motivele ornamentale sunt hinduse si budhiste.

Dupa convertirea la budhism, in partea de est a turnurilor s-a adaugat un chedi si mai multe viharnuri. Desi atat de vechi si parand parasite, ruinele sunt impodobite de ofrandele lasate de credinciosii care mai vin sa se inchine aici.

In partea de est a templului exista o zona care adapostea imagini ale lui Buddha in patru posturi: in picioare, mergand, sezand si culcat. Se mai poate vedea foarte putin astazi, ele fiind in avansata stare de degradare, dar ceea ce vedem ne arata ca erau construite din caramida rosie, care era apoi tencuita si vopsita.
