Sukhothai

Located on the lower edge of the northern region, some 350 kilometres from Chiang Mai, is the site of Sukhothai. This was Thailand’s first capital, founded in the early 13th century, and the numerous ruined temples of what was once a large and glorious city are today preserved in Sukhothai Historical Park. Sukhothai ranks as one of Thailand’s not - to - be - missed ancient sights. Spread over a large area, now attractively landscaped, are the monuments that attest to the birth of the Thai nation and which, in their unique architecture, display the first flowering of the Kingdom’s characteristic art.
