For a brief but brilliant hundred and fifty years (1238-1376), the walled city of SUKHOTHAI presided as the capital of Thailand. Now an impressive assembly of elegant ruins, Muang Kao Sukhothai (Old Sukhothai), 58km northwest of Phitsanulok, has been designated a historical park. Most travellers stay in "New" Sukhothai, a modern market town 12km to the east, which has good travel links with the old city and is also better for accommodation and long-distance bus connections. For the three nights around the Loy Krathong festival in November, a son et lumiere show is held at Old Sukhothai.
