nearby museum. This temple complex - also called by the
local people “Wat Phra Si” or “Wat Yai” - contains one
of Thailand’s most revered and copied bronze Buddha
images. This image is considered by many Thai, the

at the Grand Palace compound in Bangkok) within the

dedicated to the first capital of ancient Siam;
Sukhothai (literally meaning “rising of happiness”). We

world-famous Historical Park, home of one of the biggest
collections of sites (21 in total) and another 70 sites
within a 5 kilometer radius, spreading around an area of
45 square kilometers. We offer you a possibility to see
all the sites either by electro–card or even by renting
a bicycle to cover this vast space of ancient ruins
(Optional). Next stop will be the satellite-city of
Sukhothai: Sri Satchanalai (50 kilometers north of
Sukhothai), containing even some bigger sites. Both
sites play a very important cultural and historical role
in the development of today’s Thailand and are on the
World Heritage List, set-up by the UNESCO. Lunch will be

to visit the magnificent and oldest temple in Lampoon,
the Wat Prathat Haripoonchai; the 46-meters high golden
