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.

The first lobby is a brief introduction to the location of various temples in Sukhothai. There are relatively rich exhibits in the main exhibition hall, but some important exhibits are in Bangkok.
