I heard that Sukhothai is beautiful, but what can I do besides looking at the ruins?

Between Peng Shiluo and the historic city of Sukhothai, you must try to ride the 12 highway, which is a famous scenic highway in Thailand. You can walk in the mountains, stop at a rest stop on the roadside, or have a cup of coffee in a roadside shop. 12 strawberry is abundant in highway mountain area. Therefore, the decoration and sales of many shops are related to strawberries, such as strawberry wool hats. When we went, we met the extremely cold weather that was rare in Thailand! Yes! It snowed in the middle of the night at a higher altitude in the mountains!

▲ It looks a bit like route 66 in the United States. Highway Party can buy some souvenirs!

On the way to Sukhothai, there is also a hidden temple on 12 expressway, which is rarely visited by locals. Pollen must not miss it. In addition, it is difficult to get there if you don't take a bus, because there is no public transportation at all. Soon, Huahua will introduce you-

Wat Pha Sorn Kaew

The temple is located on a mountain at an altitude of 830 meters. From a distance, the five sitting buddhas seem to be calling us. Come on! Come to my feet! This temple is open to believers, and some monks practice here. It is surrounded by mountains. It is said that this place is chosen because it is beneficial to Buddhism and practice in such a calm place. From a distance, it's amazing. The dense fog in the mountains is like a fairyland.

This temple is a very unique building. This is a feast of colors, with more than 5 million pieces of colored glass and pottery on display. My friends say that this is the Gaudi Temple, and it is also a laughing collapse!

Love reminder

This is an important place for Buddhism, so you must dress appropriately! Like other palaces and temples in Thailand, you can't show your body parts and be tight. Besides, don't talk loudly and don't get too excited. Although this place is free for everyone, if possible, it's best to donate some money to the temple for them to maintain ~

Huahua popularization of science

Sukhothai, the capital of Sukhothai, the first dynasty of Thailand, is located in the central plain of Thailand, 427 kilometers north of Bangkok, which means "the beginning of happiness". Today, there are national historical sites here. Locality is the essence of Thai civilization. Because Hinayana Buddhism was popular at that time, there were many ancient temples in the city. UNESCO also provides special funds to protect and study the rich culture and relics here, and encourages professionals to work hard to protect the heritage. In recent years, the local government has actively worked out a plan to restore the old scenery of Sukhothai, vigorously restored all broken walls, renovated historical temples in China and rebuilt national historical relics protection zones.

Suketai Historical Park

It has been quietly abandoned in the dense jungle for hundreds of years. The Thai Arts Bureau and UNESCO jointly restored it and built the present ruins park. The monument is surrounded by lawns, and the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, like a big park. There are 36 major sites within the city wall and 90 sites outside the city wall. If other small sites are included, there are more than 300 sites. Strolling through it, you can feel the call of history. Many buildings have the style of Hinayana Buddhism, and it is also a good place to understand the development of religion in Thailand.

Suketai Historical Relics Protection Area covers a wide area, including 2000m long wall from north to south and1.600m long wall from east to west, which is the total area of the ancient city wall. The ancient historical palace and many famous temples reappear in the reserve, and visitors can see the great remains of the Thai nation 600-700 years ago. The shock is not a little!

Love reminder

The admission fee is 100 baht, but if you need to drive in or rent a bicycle for sightseeing, you need to pay extra.

▼ bantong somsamai suketai handmade gold shop

Isn't it heroic to drive to Thailand to buy gold? This is a very famous handmade gold workshop in Sukhothai, which supplies celebrities and politicians. One gram of gold products is about 277 RMB, with various styles.

Interestingly, the workshop is just behind, and you can see how gold products are made even if you don't buy them.

This gold medal, which looks like a complicated pattern, is also drawn by hand, and then it is recessed into the desired shape bit by bit.

▼ Golden Textile Museum

In Sukhothai, there is a kind of textile that must be bought, and that is Makarom cloth (? ), this is a unique fabric of Sukhothai, and the production process is also very interesting. Before spinning, the silk thread needs to be fermented in Sukhothai soil for a few days, and then processed. The finished product is soft and cold, with a unique fragrance and metallic luster. Maybe it's a trace element peculiar to the soil. In this golden textile museum, you can see the manufacturing process of fabrics in the exhibition hall, and there are also finished products available for purchase. The price is approximate.
