Phra Mae Ya Shirne is situated in front of the City
Hall and is highly respected by Sukhothai residents. It
houses an idol of Phra Mae Ya, a stone figure with a white
face and long hair, and dressed as an ancient queen. The
idol is about 1 metre high and is supposed to have been
built during King Ramkhamhaeng's reign as a dedication to
his late mother Nang Suang.
