The outstanding temples and monuments of Sukhothai have been lovingly restored in the Sukhothai Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is a must-see for all travellers to Thailand. If you are looking for a show-stopping, fast paced night out in Thailand, then Sukhothai is not the place for it. This is not to say that you cannot have any fun inSukhothai, it is just that compared to entertainment options in Phuket or Bangkok, Sukhothai does not have much to offer. However, it does offer an interesting insight into the history and culture of Thailand, having been the centre of the first truly independent Thai kingdom.
Sukhothai was the capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom from 1238 to 1438 and contains many fascinating ruins from that period. See the Top Five Temples of Sikhothai and find out more about its origins as 'birthplace of Thailand.
