Sukhothai is Thailand's equivalent to Angkor Wat, a stunning collection of temple ruins that mark the birth of Thai civilisation.

I've previously written about the spectacular Buddhist temples of Sukhothai in central Thailand, which are still surprisingly off the tourist trail for many people. This New York Times article by Henry Kamm documents his visit to Sukhothai back in 1981, when it had become open to the public once again. Fascinating stuff.

If you're heading to Sukhothai yourself, you might find this official Sukhothai map useful for getting a sense of how the temples related to each other.
