Wat Sri Chum is home to a large seated Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya attitude, measuring 11.30 meters across the lap and 15 meters high from the base to the top of the flame halo. It is called "Phra Achana", meaning "the unshakable one". It is rumored that he is a talking Buddha. It is assumed that Wat Sri Chum was built during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great and became a deserted temple in the late Ayutthaya period until 1952.
“Wat Sri Chum” is one of the most famous temples in Sukhothai Province. It is a historical tourist attraction filled with the beauty of ancient architecture such as the ‘Phra Buddha in the Mara-Vijaya posture’ which was built using bricks and laterite as the core to be formed using cement, resulting in a beautiful retro art that is hard to find. In addition, this Sukhothai tourist area also collects large Buddha statues in various temples. วัดนี้เป็นสถานที่พบศิลาจารึกหลักที่ 2 หรือศิลาจารึกวัดศรีชุม โดยรวมแล้ววัดศรีชุมจึงเป็นอีกวัดหนึ่งที่มีความสำคัญทางประวัติศาสตร์อย่างยิ่ง อีกทั้งยังมีความสวยงามของศิลปะสมัยสุโขทัยที่แสดงออกผ่านองค์พระมณฑปเสาวิหารต่าง ๆ ที่ยังหลงเหลืออยู่ จึงเป็นสถานที่ซึ่งน่าสนใจสำหรับนักท่องเที่ยวอีกแห่งหนึ่งของจังหวัดสุโขทัย
This temple is the place where the second stone inscription or the Wat Sri Chum stone inscription was found. Overall, Wat Sri Chum is another temple with great historical significance. It also has the beauty of Sukhothai art expressed through the remaining Phra Mondop and Sao Wihan. It is another interesting place for tourists in Sukhothai Province.
