Mahatai Temple is located in the center of the ancient city of Sukhothai and is the royal ancestral temple. Wat Mahathat is the center of the city. It was built from the king of Indra and was completed in 1345 in the period of King Litai, belonging to the royal ancestral temple. The main tower of the Mahatai Temple is a vegan Thai-style pagoda with a lotus-like shape on the upper part. This was reconstructed by Li Taiwang. It was originally a Khmer-style pagoda. Li Taiwang did not want to be high. Under the influence of cotton, the original Khmer tower was wrapped up and covered with a vegan Thai-style stupa. This example of not destroying the works of the predecessors can be seen in Thailand at the time, because the Thais believe that destroying the temple or the Buddha statue is against God. Not respectful.
