Comprising roughly five square kilometers, the ruins are divided into several zones and are best seen via bicycle

Sukhothai, and its dynasties, dominated Thailand through the late 1300s at which time power shifted south to Ayuthaya

Sukhothai, which is 427 kilometers away from Bangkok, served as Thailand’s first capital from 1238 to 1438. The Imperial Citadel, a Buddhist temple, and Sukhothai Historical Park are only a few of the historical sites in this region, which have a total area of about 6.600 km2. Since 1991, UNESCO has recognized this historic city as a part of the global cultural patrimony.

Based on several sites including the Wat Mahathat Royal Temple, the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum, bastions, and canals, Sukhothai has developed into a popular destination for travelers who want to learn more about the history and culture of the Thai Kingdom.

Sukhothai is known as “the morning of happiness” since it has not been much impacted by urbanization. Sukhothai Park, a gem of Siamese architecture, includes the 3,38 km2 region where the Sukhothai monarchy once stood. This location served as a symbol of Siam and the original Thai creativity, and it continues to do so now by preserving a number of distinctive architectural styles.

With a total size of about 160.000 m2, Wat Mahathat Royal Temple is the largest Buddhist temple and is regarded as the center of Thai Buddhism. It is a really lovely and unique temple.

The best way to fully explore this tourist complex would seem to be to cycle around Sukhothai. The best time to visit this famous site would seem to be in the morning. It is also very convenient for tourists to travel to Sukhothai from Bangkok. This location is one of the most worthwhile attractions in Thailand, so you shouldn’t miss it on your trip there.
