This golden Buddha with an elliptical halo sits below a parasol at the base of the ancient pagoda at Wat Chedi Luang. Its design is from the 14th century Sukhothai period. In the background you can see part of the southern staircase that leads up to the first platform. Although the brick chedi is much shorter than it was when it was finished during the 15th century, it still stands at an impressive 269 feet.
