Sukhothai Historical Park

Today we started later than usual, which was nice. Our tourist agenda today is visiting Sukhothai Historical Park which is very close to our Hotel.

Once at the Park we hopped into an old style electric golf cart to take us around.

The Sukhothai Historical Park ruins are one of Thailand’s most impressive World Heritage sites. The park includes the remains of 21 historical sites and four large ponds within the old walls, with an additional 70 sites within a 5km radius.

The architecture of Sukhothai temples is most typified by the classic lotus-bud chedi, featuring a conical spire topping a square-sided structure on a three-tiered base.
