Spend the morning exploring the UNESCO listed Historical Park just a short drive from your hotel. Established around 1238, Sukhothai was the first capital of Siam and is considered the cradle of Thai civilisation – the birthplace of Thai art, architecture and language. This is appropriate as ‘Sukhothai’ translates as ‘the dawn of happiness’. Admire beautiful standing Buddha statues as you explore the many ruined temples and monasteries.
