Sukhothai In Depth - 3 Days / 2 Nights
Sukhothai - Kamphaeng Phet - Phitsanuloke - Sukhothai - Sri Satchanalai
Learn what's behind the Buddha's mysterious smile on a tour of ancient Sukhothai. A city where orderly canals trail below sugar palms and frangipani blossoms, Sukhothai is an enchanting city filled with temples and monuments. A stop in Sukhothai is an essential part of any Thailand tour.
The style of these buildings with their distinctive grace and the tranquil expressions of the Buddha images contained here, have made the Sukhothai synonymous with this particular style of Buddhist art.
The 13th Century founding of Sukhothai lead to a blossoming of Thai culture and arts, making it no surprise that the city's name means 'dawn of happiness.' Nearly abandoned 140 years later, Sukhothai has recently been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has undergone extensive work to restore it to its historical grandeur.
You'll be led by an Exotissimo guide, whose knowledge and expertise will help you delve into the history of this fascinating city and its environs. Take in the magnificent ruins in Sukhothai, then learn more about its distinctive art and architecture with a visit to the historical park's informative museum.
Next, you're headed out of the city into the countryside on a journey to ancient ruins, quiet rural villages, and friendly local markets. You will tour the 900-year-old remains of Kamphaeng Phet, visit the towering chedis of Si Satchanalai, and learn about Thai ceramics at a centre for the distinctive celadon pottery. A chance to plant rice alongside village farmers is an added treat to this Thailand tour.
Come join us as we journey into the glorious past on this Thailand tour of Sukhothai in Depth.
