Another of Thailand’s ancient capitals, Sukhothai boasts glorious ruins in various states of preservation. Sites are spread across the city, making it fairly easy to find quiet, atmospheric spots to enjoy almost by yourself. Crumbling walls, extensive foundations, impressive chedis and pagodas, Buddha images in all sizes and poses, soaring columns, and the remains of halls and other buildings are among the things you can expect to find here. Lotus-filled ponds glean in the sunshine and information boards provide plenty of information about the area’s grand past. Wat Traphang Ngoen, Wat Mahatat, Wat Si Chum, Wat Sra Si, and Wat Sorasak are just a few sites to add to your list. The nearby Si Satchanalai Historical Park is a great extension to your trip.
