What our travellers think of their stay
The capital of the first Kingdom of Thailand, it was founded in 1238 and most of its temples can still be seen today!
My suggestion
Sukhothai is divided into two parts which are several kilometers apart: If you want to get really immersed in the town's history I suggest you stay in the old town, as close to the temples as possible.
Considered the first capital of the Kingdom of Siam, the Sukhothai Historical Park has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.
My suggestion
If you've got more than 3 days in the area then you should also visit the Si Satchanalai Historical Park, 50 kilometers north of Sukothai.
Sukhothai was the Kingdom of Siam's first capital city and is today listed as a UNESCO World Heritage.
My suggestion
Visit the sites on foot or by bicycle rather than as part of a group so that you're free to do as you please.
