Wat Chang Lom [ Temple surrounded by elephants ] is a late 14th C Buddhist temple.
Today one can see the Stupa surrounded by elephant sculptures made of brick or stucco with stucco covering, the assembly hall with its surviving columns and Buddha image at the east end, the brick ordination hall with its laterite columns, the moat supplied with water from the Mae Ramphan Canal and the brick wall parameter of approximately 100 by 157 meters.
The bell shaped stupa is built on a square foundation 18 meters on each side and surrounded by 32 elephants along the base of the stupa. As shown in the pictures each elephant is separated by a panel made of bricks to give the illusion the elephants are each standing in a small room or large niche.
Wat Chang Lom is located 200 meters east of the eastern gate of the ancient Sukhothai City walls.
