Bases of twelve small chedis are also visible. Near Charot Withithong Road is a strange chedi having three bases, one on top of the other.


Wat Chana Songkhram

Sign

Situated to the north of Wat Mahathat and near the city pillar shrine, the main boll shaped chedi is of vast size and very imposing. To the east are an assembly hall (vihāra) and subordinate chedis surrounding the main chedi. Toppedbya structure of receding storeys (Vimānās), the subordinate chedi on the eastern flank of the main chedi is worth mentioning because of this structure, similar to Wat Traphang Ngoen in Sukhothai and Wat Chedi Chet Thaeo in Si Satchanalai. Presumably, this distinctive chedi was built later in the Ayutthaya period.
