🇹🇭 Thailand – Sukhothai – Travel to the Point

Sukhothai Historical Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

Opens 6.30am till 7.30pm Sunday to Friday and Saturdays 6.30am till 9pm (apart from public holidays)
3 different sites to explore each with an individual entry fee of 100 baht each and 10 baht for bicycle.
In my opinion, the best way to explore the old city is via a bicycle which can be hired from multiple shops for 30 baht each.
Lots of temple ruins but they do become more of the same as you wander/cycle round.
Lovely cycle to while away a few hours
Some of the temples look to be partly reconstructed. Personally I think the beauty lies in the ruins themselves rather than its reconstruction.
No strict dress code. You can wear shorts and vests if you wish.

Cheap prices for drinks (50 baht for local rum excluding mixer & 80/90 baht for large beer) and food (our main meals cost between 90-120 baht)
Plenty of choice
Lovely little setting
Pleasant and attentive staff

Don’t let the name put you off! ‘Poo’ means crab in thai 🦀
Reasonable prices for the portions – Massaman cost 100 baht and the basil pasta cost 80 baht (rice is an additional cost of 20 baht)
Extremely tasty Massaman Curry with a fine balance of flavours
Tried the basil pasta however it was a little oily for me but still tasty

Songkraew is the local bus (converted truck) costing 30 baht each between old and new city.
Bus stops are a very short sign.

Cost £11 per night for a double room with private bathroom and a refrigerator!
Pleasant and professional owners
Located 10 minutes walk from New City and 15-20 minutes from Old City via Songkraew
15 minute walk from Sukhothai Bus Terminal via back roads
