Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, and Tax Province

Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, and Tax Province Travel Guide

The Central Plains is one of the most overlooked regions of Thailand. Some people take a side trip from Bangkok to the ancient capital of Ayutthaya, but fewer venture farther north to the even older cities at Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai to some of the most breathtaking ruins in the country. Although some sights are decidedly off the beaten track, it isn't difficult to reach the Central Plains. If you have more than a passing interest in Thailand's history, you should make this part of your itinerary.
