Sanburi - Wat Song Pi Noi

The Wat Song Pi Noi in the south beyond the former town walls is probably of 15th c. origin. A chedi and a 14-m (46-ft) high brick prang are among the impressive ruins still to be seen with the remains of beautiful stucco decoration and interesting Buddha figures in three of the niches. Also of interest are a standing Buddha in a forceful poise with a wide face (late U-Thong style) and a stepping Buddha in the almost swinging position typical of Sukhothai style. The head is in late U-Thong style.
