Found in the 13th century, Sukhothai
(literally means “Dawn of Happiness” ) was the first
truly independent Thai Kingdom, which enjoyed a golden age under
King Ramkhamhaeng,  credited
with creating the Thai alphabet. The superb temples and monuments
of this great city have been lovingly restored in Sukhothai Historical
Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see for all travellers.
Sukhothai is located on the lower edge of the northern region,
427 kilometres north of Bangkok or some 350 kilometres south of
Chiang Mai. The province covers some 6,596 square kilometres and
is divided into 8 Amphoes (districts): Muang Sukhothai, Ban Dan
Lan Hoi, Khiri Mat, Kong Krailat, Sawankhalok, Si Nakhon, Si Samrong,
Si Satchanalai and Thung Saliam.
