Sukhothai is a historical city in Thailand. It was the first capital of Siam and was founded in the 13th century and its dynasty lasted over 200 years. King Ramkhamhaeng is the most famous king of Sukhothai. He ruled from 1275-1317 and developed the first Thai script.
The ruins of the ancient capital are a reason to visit Sukhothai. They are a World Heritage Site and one of Thailand’s most impressive places to visit. The ruins are located in the Sukhothai Historical Park. The park includes 21 historical sites and four ponds within the old walls of the city and there are another 70 sites in a 5km radius. Sukhothai is divided into two parts: the Old City and the New City. The new city is where most of the action is and the old city is where the ruins are located. New City does have some nightlife but it most people visit Sukhothai to see the ruins. Sukhothai is a quiet city with a historical feel. It is a must see on your visit to Thailand.

Sukhothai, like Chiang Mai, is divided into two parts: the Old City and the New City. There are public buses that run back and forth between the two parts of the town. There is about 12km between the two parts and it is advisable to use the public transportation as it gets hot. The new city is where most of the action is. The restaurants are located on that end of town as are most of the internet cafés. The old city has a few restaurants and one internet café (that we saw).

Bangkok, Thailand -› Ayuthaya, Thailand -› ...
The ancient city of Sukhothai was the center of the Thai Nation for about 150 years before the rise of Ayuthaya. The guidebooks claim this to be the must do historical cultural experience in Thailand.

The remains here are much better preserved and closer together so you...

Well the bus ended up being late so we didn't get to Sukothai until almost ten p.m. and of course it was raining. We were the only farang (a sometimes humorous, sometimes derogatory term for foreigners) and immediately approached by an older man who was a Saamlaw driver. Saamlaw are kind of like tuk tuks but the "cab" is really a cart in front of a motorcycle. We knew the fare was supposed to be around 40 Baht, so the game started when he told us it was 100 Baht.
All the other drivers...
