The ruins of Sukhothai


The ruins of Sukhothai

Sukhothai was the first capital of the first Thai kingdom back in the 13th century. Before the Thai kingdom, this region was part of the Angkor kingdom in Cambodia. Most of the ancient ruins are of Buddhist structures, but some are Hindi (from the Angkor period). I rented a bicycle and toured the area for a few hours.
