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.
