Thailand: Little novice in Wat Si Chum

This is my first mail from Thailand!

This is little novice in Wat Si Chum temple. Known as the temple of the bodhi tree, Wat Si Chum was built in circa 13th Buddhist century. The highlight is the graceful Buddha sculpture enshrined inside the remaining structure of the square mandala building. Located 1,500 meters from the north of the Wat Mahathat, Wat Si Chum is surrounded with the long moat acting like a boundary. Parts of the temple were ruined through the test of time but the remaining structures, including the ordination hall and pagodas, can be archaeological evidences that portray the heydays of Sukhothai when it was a great kingdom.

Very nice stamps on cover. One of them is ATM label. Other stamps are:

Rama VI Bridge, issued on 2004-07-01
Thailand 2013 World Stamp Exhibition (from set of eight), issued on 2004-07-01
Chinese New Year Festival, issued on 2014-01-24


Thank You very much Vichai Sun!
