Things to do in Sukhothai

Sukhothai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in northern Thailand, is famous for its ancient ruins of the Sukhothai Kingdom. The city was the first capital of Siam and offers over 190 ruins to explore in the Sukhothai Historical Park, spread over 70 square kilometres. Visit Wat Mahathat, featuring a towering Buddha statue and intricate carvings, and other popular temples, including Wat Si Sawai, Wat Saphan Hin, and Wat Phra Phai Luang. Outside of the historical park, explore the local markets, shops, and restaurants in the modern city, surrounded by lush green mountains and forests, perfect for hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing.

EXPERIENCES

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Sukhothai Historical Park

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sukhothai Historical Park encompasses the ruins of the ancient Sukhothai Kingdom, which flourished from the 13th to the 14th centuries. Discover the park's numerous temples, palaces, and Buddha statues, including the iconic Wat Mahathat and Wat Si Chum. The well-preserved ruins offer a glimpse into Thailand's history and architectural splendour.

Bicycle Tour

Rent a bicycle to explore the vast Sukhothai Historical Park at your own pace. Cycling along the park's picturesque paths allows you to easily navigate between the various temple ruins, while enjoying the tranquil surroundings of lotus ponds and lush greenery.

National Museum

Located near the historical park, the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum houses a rich collection of artifacts, sculptures, and inscriptions from the Sukhothai period. Gain a deeper understanding of the kingdom's history, culture, and art as you explore the museum's exhibits.

Historical Park

Situated about 50 kilometres north of Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai Historical Park is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring well-preserved ruins from the Sukhothai era. Visit the impressive temples of Wat Chang Lom and Wat Chedi Chet Thaeo, and experience the park's peaceful atmosphere, which is often less crowded than Sukhothai Historical Park.

Thai Pottery Making

Sukhothai is famous for its traditional Sangkhalok pottery, which dates back to the ancient kingdom. Visit a local pottery workshop, where you can learn the art of Sangkhalok ceramics and create your own unique piece as a souvenir of your trip.

Culinary Delights

Savour the unique flavours of Sukhothai's local cuisine, which combines elements from central Thai and northern Thai cooking. Don't miss the chance to try Sukhothai noodles, a delicious dish featuring rice noodles with a tangy broth, minced pork, and vegetables. Other local specialties include Thung Kula rice, grilled banana, and peanut brittle.
