Sukhothai Historical Park is located 12 kilometres
from town on the Sukhothai-Tak Highway. It is open daily
8.30 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. Ruins of the royal palaces, Buddhist
temples, the city gates, walls, moats, dams, ditches, ponds,
canals, and the water dyke control system, which was the
magical and spiritual centre of the Kingdom, are now preserved
and have been restored by the Fine Arts Department with
the cooperation of UNESCO, not only with a view of fostering
Thailand's national identity but of safeguarding a fine
example of mankind's cultural heritage.
