Thailand has many interesting tourist destinations, and Sukhothai is one of them. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is well-preserved, with temple ruins and various monuments signifying the beginning of Thai architecture.

If you are interested in the classic Thai kingdom and how it influenced the modern-day, Sukhothai is a nice excursion. Sukhothai Historical Park is a one-stop attraction where you can find off-the-beaten-track ancient sites, like the Old City, Wat Mahathat, Wat Si Sawai, Wat Traphang Thong Lang, Wat Sadej, and Ramkhamhaeng National Museum. But you can do more than wander through the gorgeous temple ruins in Sukhothai. You may also indulge in a ceramic workshop in small factories near the historical park.

The trip to Sukhothai can be taxing. It’s 427 kilometers to the north of Bangkok and can be reached via train. If you do not have much time to spare, flying to the Sukhothai Airport from Bangkok through one of the country’s international airports, is the way to go.

Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
