Bike ride among the ruins of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sukhothai - Thailand's first capital

Riding through the immense historical park that sprawls across the ancient capital of the Sukhothai kingdom, you’re best to free-wheel from its restored centre and onto its less tended, tree-lined tracks. A shaded pedal past the crumbling ruin of centuries-old Buddha statues and temples is just the thing to calm and cool down in the tropical heat. The faded, antiquarian glory of the unrestored monuments is often more pleasing to the lens and soul rather than the sharpness of their restored brethren. Due to the park’s size and nature, a slow, contemplative ride is the perfect way to explore this beautiful and refreshing park.
