We visited the ruins of the ancient city of Sukhothai, which was the capital of Thailand during the 13th Century.
We started the day off in the Central Zone which had the highest concentration of ruins. Luckily for us it was overcast and cool and we were able to walk around comfortably for most of the morning admiring the ruins which were interspersed lotus filled lakes.
Some of the ruins were surrounded by moats and could only be reached by bridges.
The most spectacular ruin in this zone was the Wat Mahathat with a large seated Buddha figure surrounded by pillars.
After exploring the main sites in the Central Zone, we went to the Northern Zone. The most impressive ruin in this complex was the Wat Si Chum with a large seated Buddha peering through a narrow archway.
