Sukhothai
Sukhothai is essential for understanding the formation of Thai identity. Its spacious historical park and monuments can be explored at a slower pace, including by bicycle when conditions allow.
Ideal for: Ancient history, art, cycling and itineraries between Bangkok and the North
- Central Historical Park zone
- Wat Mahathat
- Wat Si Chum
- Northern and western zones
The heart of the Historical Park
In the central zone, the remains of Wat Mahathat and other complexes reveal the organisation of the ancient city. Your guide introduces the Sukhothai period, its art and the elements that influenced later Siamese culture.
Beyond the central enclosure
Wat Si Chum, with its great seated Buddha, is one of the site’s most striking images. The northern and western zones offer further complexes and different atmospheres, to be selected around your available time.
- Insights into the kingdom and Sukhothai artistic style
- Routes through the different park zones
- Slower transport options, including cycling, can be assessed
A stop between the centre and the North
Sukhothai fits naturally into an itinerary continuing to Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. Request a focused visit or a broader programme, leaving room for details and the light of morning or late afternoon.
