What places to visit in Sukhothai?

Must-visit places in Sukhothai

Sukhothai Historical Park

อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์สุโขทัย

---

My opinion :

is one of the prides of the country. By feet or by bicycle (rentals at the entrance), you will discover the remains of the past of this city that dominated the thai kingdom for nearly two centuries. Decks, altars, bas-reliefs, chedis, columns and above all the great stone Buddhas, it is like a living postcard. Most temples are grouped in the park but one of them are a little outside. Wat Chum for instance that includes a massive sitting Buddha is highly recommended.

Si Satchanalai Historical Park

อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์ศรีสัชนาลัย

---

My opinion :

About sixty kilometers from Sukothai, in a little less designed nature, it houses the ruins of the same kind that the one in Sukhothai but less numerous.

Wat Si Chum

วัดศรีชุม

---

My opinion :

and its huge stone sitting Buddha. This temple is not in the center of Sukhothai Historical Park and is therefore sometimes overlooked by visitors and they really miss something!

Other nice places to visit in Sukhothai

Wat Saphan Hin

and its standing Buddha. This is one of the two really interesting temples outside the central area of Sukhothai Historical Park even if compared to Wat Si Chum its interest is much lower.

Wat Chang Lom

This temple located outside the paying area of Sukhothai historical park and 1.5 km from the main park entrance is interesting for its chedi whose base is surrounded by 32 elephant images. It is just behind the Legendha Hotel.

Making Buddha amulet workshop

People mainly Sukhothai for its historical park but there are numerous handicrafts workshops in the province. And among is a making Buddha amulet place which teaches the tourists to make them. It is a nice activity and vsitiors will also get other surprises...

Wat Chetuphon

It is with Wat Chang Lom, the most interesting temple outside the paying areas of Sukhothai Historical Park. Thre you can see 4 large Buddha images in relief. They are damaged and no longer have a head but you will not find such imageswithin the paying areas.
