Wat Sra Si
Wat Sra Si makes a quintessentially Thai picture, as the bot stands on an island in a pond surrounded by lotus flowers. The wat must have been a magnificent sight when it stood in all its glory. Ten chedis still stand, as do six rows of columns and the beautiful statue of a seated Buddha. Some of the wat's buildings are still inhabited by monks. This is where Loy Kratong (the light festival) is celebrated every November, transforming the lake with thousands of tiny floating candles into a fantastical sea of light.
