Sukhothai Historical Park
小小团旅游日记Sukhothai Historical Park is the location of Sukhothai, a famous historical city in Thailand, known as the "cradle of Siamese culture". The park is located in the central part of northern Thailand, on the left bank of the Yong River, about 540 kilometers north of the capital Bangkok. It was opened to the public after being restored on November 20, 1987, covering an area of about 116.5 square kilometers.
The Thai meaning of Sukhothai is "the dawn of happiness". It was the capital of the first independent country established by the Thai nation in the 13th century, and later became the capital of the Sukhothai Dynasty. The Sukhothai Dynasty lasted for 200 years, during which the most brilliant culture in Thai history emerged. King Lankanxiang created the Thai language today and recorded the first history of Thailand on a stone tablet; the sculpture and architectural art during the reign of the fifth king, Litai, reached its peak and was hailed as the "ancestor of Thai art"; the sixth king, Tamaraj, wrote the first literary work in Thailand based on Buddhist stories.
The ancient city of Sukhothai is rectangular, surrounded by three layers of earth walls, moats and city walls, and there are four large pools in the city. There are 193 Buddhist monuments in and around the city, including 1 royal palace, 35 Buddhist temples, and a large number of ancient pagodas, Buddha statues, stone tablets, ponds, dams, and ancient porcelain kilns. Sukhothai culture is the pride of the Thai nation. For tourists who want to learn more about Thai history and culture, Sukhothai Historical Park is a destination not to be missed.

Wat Sorasak
小小虫寵The Solarsack Temple is located within the city walls of the northern Sukhothai, near Tapa. The temple is known for its elephant base. On the land, the original purpose was to build a temple dedicated to the governor, whose uncle was invited to live in.
Wat Si Sawai
Ppxy0705Wat Sisaway in Sukhothai is also a very old temple, but part of this temple was built later, so it has a modern Thai temple style. However, although the pagoda here endorses this life, it actually has a very long history. It can be regarded as a rebirth of ancient monuments.
Wat Traphang Tong Lang
小小虫寵The ruins of Tonglan Temple are located east of the city wall. The ruins are a square building with an arched gate on the outer wall of the main hall. Unfortunately, the lime relief has almost peeled off. There are not many tourists coming to the temple. The best time to come here is in the evening, when you can climb up to watch the sunset.
