Sukhothai - Historical Park

Back on the bikes (are we ever off them?) to look around the Sukhothai historical park central zone. There are over 90 major ruins and many minor ones, 70 of which are within the main central zone. This is where the old town is located and where we are staying, with the entire town surrounded by moats and walls - each side of the wall is around 1.5km long. The ruins are supposedly the first kingdom of Thailand in 1238. Some have had minor renovations to stop them collapsing, others are left as they were. The main area is a bit more tended to than the outlying ones and has a lovely peaceful atmosphere (the area isn't that well known and so not at all busy).Baca lagi
