Sukothai Travel Information

Sukothai

Founded in the 13th century, Sukhothai (literally translated as "Dawn of Happiness") was the first truly independent Thai Kingdom, and enjoyed a golden age under King Ramkhamhaeng, credited with creating the Thai alphabet. Even today, images of the Lord Buddha sculptured during the Sukhothai Era are distinctive cultural treasures, imparting a feeling of peace and serenity. The city's superb temples and monuments have been lovingly restored, and most are locatated in Sukhothai Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see for all travelers. Sukhothai is located on the lower edge of the northern region, 427 kilometres north of Bangkok.
