A bit of history.

 

Founded in 1238, Sukhothai was the first unified Kingdom of Siam. Prior to this, modern-day Thailand was governed by local rulers loyal to the Khmer empire of Angkor. As the power of the Khmers began to wane, two Thai generals banded together to expel the Khmers from the central plains, founding the new kingdom of Sukhothai ("Dawn of Happiness" in Pali) with one of the generals, Intradit, as the first ruler.

Nice photos. It's a great place, isn't it. I loved it in the early morning whilst the ground/low lying mist was just hovering over the ground.

I believe it is one of the hottest part of Thailand,certainly was boiling when I was there.
