Khao Klang Nok - Si Thep Historical Park - Largest Dvaravati Ruin in Thailand - With Drone Footage
Khao Klang Nok is the Buddhist chedi (pagoda) considered to be the largest Dvaravati chedi in Thailand. The ruin is 64 × 64 meters in size and approximately 20 meters in height. Its square base was built of laterite with two bases superimposed on each other.
There are four entrances in the cardinal directions with stairways on each side of the base. Also, the base was decorated with replica Prasats. A prasat is a building featuring an ornate roof structure) influenced by the Indian art. This series of bases supports the upper-level structure which may have been the bell-shaped chedi surrounded by Lan Prataksin (a pathway for walking clockwise around the chedi for religious ceremonies). Evidence of the chedi's cloister is also revealed. In the 2008 excavation, one Buddha statue in the teaching posture was unearthed.
Apart from the main chedi at the center, there are smaller subordinating chedis placed in the four cardinal directions with three tiers of chedis in each direction. This layout is based on the cosmological belief that the Khao Klang Nok is the center for Mahayana Buddhism.
According to the architectural style and artifacts, Khao Klang Nok was constructed in the 8th century AD. and was continued to serve as the Buddhist monastery until the 13th century AD when this area was abandoned.
The site is huge. It’s very interesting and worth a visit to see and the rest of the sites at Si Thep.
