Wat Sri Sunthorn (Lipon) is in Tambol Sri Sunthorn, Thalang, only a liitle facilitate north as you head along Tepkassatree Road while in transit to the Airport and a short drive from Wat Pra Nang Sang and Wat Pratong. Frankly I am not certain if the sanctuary is named after the "tambol" or is named after one of the courageous women - I think perhaps the tambol was named after the heoine and afterward the sanctuary named after the tambol.

There were a few structures in Wat Sri Sunthorn sanctuary ground and loads of statues. The principle Wat has been shut on the events I have gone by, however on top of another building is a tremendous leaning back Buddha which can be seen from the street as you drive past. The passage to the sanctuary has as of late been augmented - it used to be obvious just down a restricted track through the trees. There are ventures up to the rooftop around the right half of the building. Anybody going by ought to uproot shoes before going up - and on a hot day the rooftop can be very hot!
