Wat Si Sawai (GPS: 17.01372, 99.70245; Thai: วัดศรีสวาย ) is the ruins of an ancient temple in Sukhothai, Thailand. It is located on the southern part of the Sukhothai Historical Park, a short distance from Wat Mahathat.
The name Wat Si Sawai means Temple of Mangoes. Its most notable feature is without a doubt the three Khmer-style prangs. Considering that this temple was built with prangs instead of chedis, it was built by the Khmers, and began as a Hindu temple rather than a Buddhist one, possibly between the late 12th to the early 13th century. It was only in the 14th century, after the Khmers have departed, that the Thais converted it into a Theravada Buddhist temple.
