Sukhothai
Nestled in the Yom River valley in northern Thailand, Sukhothai is steeped in heritage. Meaning “Dawn of Happiness,” the city is noted as the first independent Siamese Kingdom of the ancient world. Acres of 13th-century city ruins and temples comprise the Sukhothai Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Environmentalists will marvel at the elaborate jungle ecosystem within the many national parks and Khao Luang Mountains. A laid-back tempo typical of northern Thailand is present, inviting visitors to leisurely explore and discover all the region has to offer.
