Sukhothai Historical Park # 1

I try and give accurate information about the images I post but the complexity of the Sukhothai Historical Park rather defeated me. There are such a multitude of temple ruins it was hard to know when one began and ended. I think these Chedi are part of the Wat Mahathat they will be from the Fourteenth Century before Thailand existed as a state

 

Sukhothai Historical Park covers the ruins of Sukhothai, literally 'dawn of happiness', capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom in the 13th and 14th centuries, in north central Thailand. It is near the new city of Sukhothai,The city's walls form a rectangle about 1.2 square miles There are 193 ruins within the old city, including the remains of the royal palace and twenty-six temples, the largest being Wat Mahathat. It is a UNESCO it a World Heritage Site. Originally, Sukhothai was a Khmer empire's outpost named Sukhodaya. During the reign of Khmer Empire, the Khmers built some monuments there, several of them survived in Sukhothai Historical Park such as the Ta Pha Daeng shrine, Wat Phra Phai Luang, and Wat Sisawai.
