The ancient city of Sukhothai was an early kingdom in north central Thailand which existed from 1238 for about 200 years. The old capital and its ruins are now a UNESCO world heritage historical park.
Phitsanulok to old Sukhothai, 82 km all on a straight flat highway. No stress. Arrived late afternoon and had a bit of a look around before dinner of different kinds of street food.
Got up in the dark and enjoyed a sunrise bike ride of 20 km before breakfast. Cool morning, actually needed another layer of clothing at 6.30 am. Beautiful sight seeing the sun come up over the ancient temples. Amazing place, built in the same era as Angkor Wat. So quiet and peaceful, not very many tourists about. I think the photos say it all here !
hello R & T

What are all those columns for ? are they stone
and that old tree with the roots around it how old would that be
roger was pleased he spoke to you
cheers dad
I think the columns would have been to hold up the roof of the temples and buildings. Just the ruins remain now so lots of things missing
