I stayed 6 days in Sukhothai, did not realise there were 2 massive Historical Parks to visit, the second one is Si Satchanalai, outside of the city. WELL WORTH GOING TOO, I thought it was better than Sukhothai Historical Park. Did not have enough time to really take it all the history, Went to the Sukhothai museum, well worth a visit. I have just come back in September, so it's still monsoon weather until middle of October, I was very lucky I saw a lot in such a short time. The tuktuk driver Mr John was very knowledgable and speaks English, cost 600thb a day.

Entrance fee to the historical park is much higher for foreigners than for Thai citizens. This is a chronic issue in Thailand. The historical site is good, well maintained, well organized. Excellent for biking but you can rent an electric vintage car. Explanatory plaques on the monuments are in Thai language only. The museum is gorgeous, a must. Excellent coffee shop outside the main entrance of the park.

Just after the months-long Covid-19 lockdown, it is the perfect time to go and visit Sukothai as there are hardly any other tourists, it is calm and serence and everyone is happy to see visitors again. We were 3 families with children (youngest are 8) and although the hotel has bikes, we rented mountain bikes with Khun Mem, a bicling tour guide. She is on Whatsapp 085 083 1864. She will come to your hotel with mountain bikes and can either do historical tours around the temple area including lake or you can also book with her a half or full day tour on dirt roads along rice fields. It was hot hot hot but very much fun. Khun Mems son is cycling for the National team of Thailand but her parents are sponsoring him for most of his equipment. Very gentle, tough lady.

My husband & I traveled to Sukhothai with some friends and we are so glad that we made the drive! It was beautiful, and rich with history which made for a fun & adventurous day of sight-seeing. We will definitely go back as we didn't get to see everything and think it would be even even more beautiful after rainy season has made everything bright and green!

I stayed in the old city and getting there by train is a job by itself. A lot of these tuk tuk drivers take advantage of the situation. Prices were over the top. There are alternatives like the wooden bus and they charge 30B at the time of review. The historical remnants are well preserved and interesting. Worth the trip.

GOOD : Very nice historical park. Travelling by bike is very recommended and easy to go around by ourselves. It is very nice countryside. But in the summer or dried season November - April maybe too hot. Recommended to come and visit during raining season as it should be everywhere green and more threes to see. The city itself was very quiet but traveller coming alone is not recommended. TO BE IMPROVED : The sign of the next attractions to be presented for visitors ,was not clear enough. When we finished the main attraction site, and then we wanted to go to Wat Sri Chum temple, there was no sign mentioned clearly from here. we must carry the map all the time to guide us which direction we should take. FOOD IN MUANG KAO, was not much too choose from.Souvenir shops here we could not find LOCAL PEOPLE: we found they were nice and helpful, compared to Ayutthaya. In Sukhothai they are more friendly. BICYCLE for rent from the shop : they are many bikes to choose but it is unsecured for us when they asked for ID card to be guaranteed as it was very important card to be easy to be have information stolen. They may take photo of our card any time and use it in illegal way. This is very important for government to solve and secure the customer rights.
