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.

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.
