Wat Wat Traphang Thong is an active temple on an island in the middle of a lake near the east gate (Kamphaeng Hak Gate). The pond is located west of the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum. The bell shaped chedi (stupa) is the oldest structure of the complex. The ordination hall was built in the early 20th century. A 21st-century mondop houses a Buddha footprint sculpted in stone. The footprint was made in 1359 during the reign of King Li Thai.

Palace Hill (Thai: เนินปราสาท)
It is the remains of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Sukhothai. The palace was built on a square base with the dimensions of 200 x 200 m. Nearby were two small ponds where the archaeologists found the remains of terracotta pipes which probably been used to supply water from a city lake to the ponds. In the southwest, there are the remains of a 1.5-m-high brick platform on which they found ashes and bones inside, so It can be assumed that it was the royal cremation place. The Noen Prasat was discovered in 1833 by Mongkut, who had made a pilgrimage to the north of Siam as a monk.

King Ramkamhaeng ruled Sukhothai between 1279 and 1298 and was the third king of the Phra Ruang Dynasty, approximately. Built in 1971, the bronze statue is about twice life size, and depicts the king sitting on the Managkhasila-Asana throne.

Wat Chana Songkhran is just north of the Wat Maha Tat and houses one of the largest chedis (stupas) of Sukhothai. The temple was probably built in the 14th century. Its name translates to Temple of the Won War. Remains of an assembly hall can be seen on the east but the statue of Buddha is no longer there.
