Sukhothai has an amazing...
by luciano
Sukhothai has an amazing historical city, included in the Unesco world heritage list. I had the impression there of being rather off the beaten path, as the foreign tourists where few and the new city is so small.
The North Zone
by Mr.Sparkle
Once you’re done seeing the Central Zone head north to the North Zone. It only a short ride, maybe 5 minutes. Check out Wat Phra Phai Luang, one of the oldest structures in the old city. Also in the North Zone is Wat Sri Chum, housing Skuhothai largest Buddhist statue, roughtly 15m high and 11m in width.
The North Zone is the most expensive of the areas to visit because there are several places that require an entrance fee. You might end up spending upwards of 100 Bath, but really that’s like $3 so it’s no bid deal.
Wat Phra Phai Luang - The best
by easterntrekker
This is amazing . It compared to the best I've seen in the world . I was truly awe struck. It is so beautiful and huge!!
This is the best place to start your tour and it's the first Wat you'll see when you enter the park. We noticed the Buddha Images and Monk-images, are in walking position. this is typical of the Sukhotthai era.
There's alot to take in . There are 200 chedis in the compound and towering above a much revered and photographed Lotus - bud chedi.
30 Bht open 8:30 to 4:30
Wat Mahathat
by gib157
Wat Mahathat is the most famous of the Sukhothai sites, and rightly so. The walls enclose a labyrinth of temples, buddha images and chedis, all beautiful. When I was there a group of school children were running around and hiding from each other in the ruins.
