This was Thailand's first capital. The old city of Sukhothai has about 45 sq km of ruins. If Wats are your thing then this is the place to visit classic Thai architecture.

I think i visited almost everyone of the historical sites and ruins on a day that was blisteringly hot. I opted for a hired sawngthaew at a bargain price but cycling is another good option.

| What's really great: |
|
My driver was friendly and informative and took me to almost every ruin in the area. Some are in much better condition than others. The areas around the large ponds were very peaceful and there does not seem to be as many tourists as Ayuthaya.
