In general, the round Stupa built in Thailand has the same elements as the Indian prototype which was introduced from Sri Lanka. The form of the round Stupa nevertheless is eminently Thai because of its its high pyramidal curved outline, a characteristic noticeable in all Thai religious buildings. This Stupa has a high drum formed by many moldings of the same design, a bell- shaped dome, a square throne surmounted by a low circular colonnade supporting the high and slender Chatra (umbrella). During the Ayutthaya period, by adding four niches (an element borrowed from the northern art) to the dome of the classic Chedi, the Thai composed a fine new style. The beautiful group of three Chedis of Wat Phra Sri Sanphet of Ayuthaya show this style at its best development. In later times the outline became more slender losing in such a way its monumentality.
