A guided tour round Sukhothai the old capital of Thailand

Sukhothai was the first capital of Siam during the 13th century. Today the town located in the Northern part of Thailand is a very popular place for visitors because of its historic and cultural treasures. I asked some locals to provide photos and words to make an appetizer. So here is a short guide to history, culture and some recommendations for accommodation and food. The city provides very good service to its guests and you are guaranteed to have an unforgettable experience whether you are there for history or relaxing by the pool. As mentioned this is only a brief guide as there are so many things to explore in Sukhothai.  The tour starts with a visit to the Old City of Sukhothai where you will find many historic temples and some incredible architecture.  The entrance to the Old City of Sukhothai  Wat Si Sawai (The Si Sawai Temple) It was originally built in a style going back to the Khmer period. It was later partly remodelled by the Kingdom of Sukhothai
