Easily accessible from the main highway in any direction with clear signs that provide visitors with the necessary information on what is what and where, in both Thai and English languages. The entire land layout is divided into sections such as the elephant show, elephant hospital, elephant rehabilitation, and so on. There was no entry fee to the place, however, there are tickets stalls for different events. Because it was midday and hot, nothing much was happening other than elephant back riding which we couldn’t do as it was too hot for us and the elephants too. Elephants back riding costs around THB 140 for a 10 minutes journey. There were small restaurants and coffee shop serving limited selection of local dishes too. Strange enough, the majority of the visitors were locals and it looked like we were the only tourists there. It was very quiet and looked semi deserted, but it should deserve better.

This isn't an elephant show or entertainment park. There are limited activities, all focused on the deep relationship between elephants and Thai people. I've seen many foreign reviews alleging animal cruelty and forced behavior. Do you really understand "Asian elephants"? This facility cares for both domesticated and wild elephants, and I believe their methods are appropriate for the elephants' well-being and natural environment. Please don't judge based on a limited or biased viewpoint.

When we entered the ticket booth, I saw an elephant next to it walking freely. I thought the elephant would have some freedom and would be taken care of. When we entered the park, I saw the elephants being chained with a small metal chain. They looked distressed and wanted to roam around of course. They showed monotone behavior (head swaying from one side to the other, even the little ones) which tells me they are not being good taken care of. Later we walked to the bathing area. The keepers would hit an elephant with the hook. I already wanted to go out, but then we just walked away. It's a shame that this is how elephants are being taken care of in a conservation center. Give the elephants some natural ground to roam around with an electric fence/natural barrier. The hook and so on isn't animal friendly at all. For me it was a waste of money seeing they profit of this kind of behavior.

We visited Thai elephant conservative centre on a weekday and arrived early, so the place was very quiet with hardly any other visitors. It made the experience feel even more special and personal. There are two elephant shows during the day — we watched the elephants painting and showing different skills such as pulling logs, dragging timber, and even playing sports. The highlight for us was definitely joining the elephant bathing at 13:30. It lasted about 20 minutes and was truly one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. Being so close to these gentle giants in the water was unforgettable. Highly recommended if you want a unique and meaningful encounter with elephants in Thailand! 🐘💦

I love elephants so wanted to see this place but it was a bit disappointing. The shows are only every 90 minutes or so and you need to check the times otherwise there's not much else to see. We missed a show but didn't want to wait for the next one so just got a bus to the elephant paddock. Most were chained and clearly stressed. Probably wouldn't go back

My visit to the Elephant Conservation Center near Chiang Mai was excellent and exactly what I hoped for. The atmosphere is noticeably peaceful , a huge plus if you want to avoid the typical tourist rush and chaos that can plague other spots. What struck me most was the large number of magnificent elephants and the genuine care they receive. The staff are truly friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their conservation work, which made the experience feel very professional and informative. If your travel goal is a quiet, respectful, and less crowded opportunity to observe elephants, make this center your top choice!

The animal abuse was soil crushing. I’m so ashamed my volunteer group took us here. They would hit the elephants with metal hooks and they would cry out in pain. This place needs to be closed down permanently.

(Translated by Google) Go during the month of May. Look at the well-designed place. There are a lot of places to walk around. But there are quite a few places to rest. There is a small garden that looks quite colorful. There is a parking lot and a building for organizing small activities. But while we were there, there were quite a lot of leaves. So it looks a bit worn out. (I'm not sure if it was a period with few people or not, so I didn't really take care of it.)​ It used to be like there used to be an open zoo. But when I went it was closed. Not sure if it's closed permanently or not.

(Translated by Google) Drive from Lamphun down to Doi Khun Tan and pass the Thai Elephant Conservation Center for another 3 kilometers. You will see a sign for "Thung Kwian Forest Park" and a deer statue on the left. Turn onto rural highway L.P. 2301 and you'll be there in a bit. "Thung Kwian Forest Park Office" is surrounded by a large forest park and sustainable teak forest, 15,127 rai, with many different types of trees. This forest park may not be of interest to foreign tourists. But it is a recreational place for Thai people on the Chiang Mai-Lampang route that is worth stopping by. There is a parking lot inside where you can walk down to see the gardens, the monument to Prof. Dr. Amnuay Kovanich, and the museum. There is also a small open zoo near the lake. You can look for a little deer hidden in the bushes. At the same time, there were peacocks screeching along on the side of the road. There is also a pavilion for sitting and resting. In fact, before it was just a dilapidated concession forest, it took more than 40 years to restore it. Even today, large trees are rarely found. Still, I can say it's "beautiful"...

Magnificently built located a few kilometres away from downtown and housed a 15th century solid gold image of Buddha inside the praying hall. A large golden chedi stands tall inside the compound. From the compilation of building structures and image existence this place is definitely an antiquated oldie. It's grandeur gives a feeling of calmness and inner peace. Glad to have a chance to stumble upon this piece of heritage.

Nice and quiet place. You feel relaxed and find peace here.

Small place here but still clam and good atmosphere. Better to visit in the late evening that not too hot. If you can counting 20 pagodas, you will have a lucky.

Beautiful temple with 20 small pagodas which give local name of this temple. P.S. "Sow"means twenty in Northern Language.

Located in a quiet, semi rural setting, the Wat is tranquil and colorful the very relaxed dogs, cats and chickens adding to the experience. I cycled the 6 km from Lampang centre, an easy ride on flat roads.

nice place to see historical and religious symbols

One of beautiful temple in Lamphang. Small and peace.

An amazing experience, spiritually and artistically. It houses one of Thailand’s Emerald Buddhas and has a large reclining Buddha that’s well known. The Buddha in the newer main hall is quite large and impressive in size and design. In the mornings the pagoda shimmers of the sunlight, creating a visual sense of peace. This temple is one of Lampang’s treasures for sure.

Highly recommended to Visit this ancient temple! 🤩 "Wat Prakaewdontao Suchadaram" It's really good day for 21°c at noon. Cold wind, peaceful temple and great scenery. Don't miss. Let the pictures tell the story how great this temple is.! 🙏😊

Calm and peaceful temple with big golden pagoda

Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao Suchadaram (Kham Muang: LN-Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao.png) is a royal temple of the third class, ordinary type, located at Tambon Wiang Nuea. Mueang Lampang District, Lampang Province, with an area of ​​51 rai 2 ngan 61 square wah, is an ancient and beautiful temple aged over a thousand years. This temple has been enshrined the Buddha Maha Manee Ratana Patimakorn (Emerald Buddha) since 1979 for 575 years.

Beautiful temple. The whole area is larger than expected. Worth a quick visit.

Large and peaceful ancient temple with lots of buildings, shrines, naga and large stupa. There is an entry fee

Typical Thai temple, currently under construction (April 2019). I went very early in the morning, to avoid the heat and other people. I enjoyed walking around, but I wouldn't come to Lampang just to see this temple.

Was claimed unesco heritage but I found it very quite here and nothing much to see , maybe I should study more about this temple and pay another visit

We both enjoyed our visit. Its a working Temple. Located just over the Wang River from the main tourist area of Lampang City. Can I just apogise for the next part : so many of you advertise this as a UNESCO site!!! It's not, so please do your research before visiting thinking its a UNESCO site. It received a UNESCO award of merit in 2008 (as per the signage at the main gate), which does not make it a UNESCO site. It's joined to a second Wat and easy to walk around. Beware of the black cat that hangs around opposite the main entrance to this temple. It's got a lovely collar and is very much domesticated, but wow, it feins friendship so easily and I'm sure I'm not the first tourist its drawn blood from. If it falls onto its back in the hope of a belly rub, don't fall for that trick. Overall, an enjoyable 30 minutes walk around the temple (s).

It's a heritage place in Lampang. Age is around 1300 years, it's beautiful n quiet .. good for walking around.

This is a beautiful, serene and quiet temple which is the only temple in Thailand that shows Lanna, Chinese and Burmese influneces. It's also a UNESCO site.

Nice temple. 2008 unesco award winner. Check out the museums on site

A large and interesting old temple complex with many buildings and a large sleeping buddha

Quite interesting. No crowds although it is a distance from the main road

You can see how they lived before, and know why the house they build like that. The entrance fee are 50, but they said those money is for those poor people. It's such a nice things.

A good example of a large traditional Thai House. 50 Baht entrance but you do get a delicious tamarind juice drink and some local rice cracker snacks which are very tasty.

Would have been great if I could take a visit inside, but unfortunately it was closed. Wish they could at least specify the opening hours.

Nice teak house museum and garden to visit to feel of vintage Thai-styled house.

Baan Sao Nak is great! It's an old teak wood house that's currently buckling a little under the weight of the wood. It was a rich family's house but now they turned it into a museum, which I think is really cool. It's only 50 baht, and it's the same price for Thai people and foreigners. The lady that gave my tour was friendly and helpful. And the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The price of the tour includes a small traditional beverage and some rice crackers. It's great value.

Traditional Thai building , comfortable atmosphere , ticket include a cup of tea and rice dessert. When I visit here , it will hold a wedding ceremony, it's amazing to watch them how to prepare wedding.

Very good place that you could learn how the Lampang citizen lived in the past. You could found several antiquities. Together with warm welcome from staff with Thai crispy rice cake and herbal drinking. Very good taste!!! I ever visited this place twice!

Great weekend market! Not too busy, but many stalls to buy from. Beautiful old buildings surround the market.

Must visit on Sunday evenings around 6-8. We went at 5:15 and many vendors were still setting up so I would wait until 6. Delicious orange drinks, foods, and local items for sell. Locals market and not tourist market which is nice!

Nice to walk around in the evening and lots of choices of food too, for car parking if possible park when u Find a parking place

Very nice walking street. More local and authentic than in Chiang Mai. Not so touristy. Really worth a visit. Lots of good food too!

It’s suggested to visit here at around 6pm. There are various things for selling here including souvenirs or daily appliances. A must visit night market.

I enjoyed just mingling with the locals and learning about the things they enjoy eating and buying as I spend the evening at this night market which is only held on Saturday and Sunday night. I also enjoyed the music being played by various school children who were there to raise funds for their school. Live music by various buskers add to the lively atmosphere.

Nothing too special about the food, but the surrounding wood buildings are amazing and, unlike other markets, almost no one speaks English.

This is a good place to visit but our tour felt rather rushed. Would be nice to be taken round with enough time to read a bit more of the information or be able to go at your own pace. Tour guide was good though and informative for the main information that you require. The shop was reasonably priced.

Dhanabadee Ceramic Museum is a perfect place to get a first hand experience on how to make a chicken bowl. The process was founded way back from China and brought to Thailand. The designs and details were meticulously hand-painted. Because of their unique techniques, it made the city as one of the exporters of chicken bowls and ceramic creations in the country and overseas. Plus, you can see a bowl made out of real gold. Be sure to check it out. As a tourist, it is definitely an additional to your list when visiting Chiang Mai! My boyfriend and I enjoyed a lot!

I recently visited this museum after seeing all the glowing 5-star reviews online, but what a disappointment! It quickly became clear that many of these positive reviews are fake. The exhibits were poorly maintained, there was little educational value, and the staff seemed uninterested in helping visitors. It felt like the museum was more concerned with creating a false image online than actually delivering a quality experience. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money here. It’s sad that they resort to using fake accounts to boost their ratings instead of improving the experience for guests

What a great place to visit! I realy enjoyed rhe tour of the factory. They offer tours in english. You walk in the factory and see how everthing is made.

Not really sure what the negative reviews are on about, this was the highlight of our visit to Lampang and was absolutely worth the money (100 baht entrance fee). There are guided tours every hour and our guide, Fay, was amazing, speaking in both Thai and English to the group. She and the other staff were also very friendly and helpful with answering questions we had about our time in Lampang. You get to learn the whole history and process of the chicken bowl, which is still made by hand at the museum/factory today. If you’re interested in history, arts, culture, you shouldn’t miss it!

Katie is very informative and fun to communicate with Thai and English. She would take time to show detail for more info.

Such a great place to learn about the history of pottery in the area! Our guide Noon was so so so nice (and she actually let me go through the tour a second time because I wanted to take more pictures! Thank you Noon!) and it was a great place to learn about a piece of pottery that may seem everywhere but actually has such a unique history! Entry was 100 BAHT per person too!

An interesting and impressive display of magnificent structures. Plenty of various activities were performed. There were many visitors, some coming in tour coaches, while others flock in on foot or private transportation, to admire this marvel, or perform their rituals and prayers. The place was practically full of tourists that come from everywhere. Beautiful, and must see.

◽️Highlights & Must-Do: •Upside-down reflection of the stupa – Traditionally viewed inside the ordination hall (currently under renovation). You can still see it in the side viharn on the left; look carefully on the right-hand table once you step inside. •Circumambulation (Walking Meditation) around the stupa – The temple provides flowers, incense, and candles for offerings, for 20 THB for a donation. •Ancient Lanna murals – Located in an open viharn at the entrance, these are among the few surviving Lanna-style wall paintings in Thailand. •Bullet marks on the iron fence around the stupa, with interesting historical stories. 💰 Entrance Fee: 40 THB for foreigners.

On one hand it’s a must see of historical and cultural significance. On the other hand if you have limited time in Lampang it’s out of the way. A Grab from city center will cost you about 170-200฿ each way. Temple entrance fee for foreigners is 40฿ if the person collecting has change. The trip is about 30 min (over 20km) each way and you can see everything in less than an hour. So if you have 2 hours and 500฿ it’s worth going. Honestly it’s a bit underwhelming compared to other sights in Chiang Mai area. However, it is nice to stroll around and take in the ambiance.

A bit boring temple for tourist spot its have 1 of 12 chinese zodiac temple though. Though its not that bad to take picture and have a bit spot to take it. Its not around the city so need to spent 20 mins from city

Excellent place and great location. Wat Phra That Lampang Luang is an important historical site located in the ruins of the ancient city of Lampang. According to history, Queen Chamadevi once came to pay homage and has been renovating and repairing it regularly. It is considered an important temple of the city since ancient times. It is beautiful and has excellent architecture, sculptures, and paintings. It is the place where Phra Kaew Don Tao, which is highly revered, is enshrined.

Very lovely old temple and with google translate we could figure out what some of the prayers/blessings were all about. Some nice stalls and very friendly people all around. 40 baht visitor fee

Beautiful temple, well maintained and popular with locals. Well worth the detour on the way to Chiang Mai.

A bit far away from the city but really an interesting place to visit. A special chapel that visitor can get inside for an upside down view of the Pagoda through the small hole of the Chapel wall. Strongly recommend to experience the pagoda view from inside.

Amazing reflection of Phrathall.

I'm a real temple lover I visit as many as I can as often as I can ,I have never found one I didn't think was well worth the visit and making merit and viewing it historic history

Peaceful temple. You can visit a small hall next to the main hall to see upside down shadow of the pagoda.

Good, wish the rain had not prevented me the chance to really look around.

nice temple

Worth the visit

The temple is in town next to Donkam market.

A nice local temple that merits exploring.

Beautiful Lanna Pagoda. Great collection of antique Buddha statues. Great local museum operation include 150 years old rare Buddha image

The museum is tiny; its contents stunning.

The historic temple in " Long " amphoe of Phare province There are many antigue collection of Bhuddha images and statues shown here

Nice place. And can learn about history.. And have lots of food near

Very nice museum in this temple

A Hidden Natural Wonderland in Northern Thailand If you’re craving a true escape into untouched nature, Wiang Kosai National Park is an absolute dream. Located between Lampang and Phrae provinces, this national park is still relatively unknown to most tourists—which makes it even more magical. I visited recently, and it completely exceeded my expectations in every way. 🌲 Dense Forests, Waterfalls & Wildlife From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped by lush green forests, the scent of damp earth, and the sound of birds echoing through the trees. The park is covered with rich teak and mixed deciduous forest, giving it a wild, untouched feel. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel connected to the natural world. One of the highlights of my visit was the stunning Mae Koeng Luang and Mae Koeng Noi Waterfalls—multi-tiered falls with crystal-clear water cascading over smooth stones. There are well-marked trails that take you to each tier, and though the hike can get steep in places, it’s absolutely worth it. The views are breathtaking, and the sound of water rushing through the jungle is incredibly soothing. 🐒 A Place to Breathe, Reflect, and Explore I was lucky enough to spot monkeys, butterflies, and a variety of birds during my walk. The biodiversity here is impressive, and because it’s not overly commercialized, you can really enjoy the serenity without crowds or noise. There are also cool viewpoints scattered throughout the park—some offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, others hidden deeper within the trees where you can sit and take it all in. 🏕️ Camping & Facilities If you’re into camping, Wiang Kosai has designated camping areas with basic amenities. You can bring your own tent or rent one on-site. I didn’t camp this time, but I’d love to return and spend a night under the stars—it’s the perfect place for it. There’s also a visitor center near the entrance where the rangers are friendly and can help with maps or tips on where to go based on the season. 🚗 Getting There The park is best reached by car or motorbike. It’s about an hour from Phrae or Lampang, and the drive itself is scenic and enjoyable, especially as you get closer to the park boundaries and the mountains rise around you.

Wiang Kosai National Park protects approximately 410 km² of mountainous tropical forest in the Phi Pan Nam Range, spanning Phrae and Lampang provinces. Key attractions include the multi-tiered Mae Koeng Waterfalls (Luang and Noi), the Mae Chok Hot Spring, and scenic mountaintop viewpoints. The park supports rich forest ecosystems, home to muntjac, squirrels, diverse birdlife, and lush flora. Visitors can enjoy camping, guided woodland hikes, and swimming in natural pools. Facilities include a visitor centre, restrooms, simple food stalls, and camping grounds. Open daily from 08:00 to 16:30. Entry fee is approximately THB 200. Access is via Highway 101 → 11 to Wang Chin, followed by local roads. Ideal for peaceful nature escapes, forest bathing, and camping under cool northern skies.

Parks is closed until 1st of October 2023. Please update your working hours. We took a 3 hour trip here 😁

Only so so waterfall, nothing else...200 Bhat for foreigner

Very friendly ranger .. and awesome place to camp

Beautiful place...lot of yellow butterflys...paradise, wonderful feeling.

Friendly staffs, beautiful accommodations, peaceful and beautiful.

14th Jan 2023 Thai Children's Day. Very happening here. Free food and most of them dress up in Karen costume.

The wonderful Buddhist temple in Karen village. 5 km from Li district and 110 km from Lamphun province. The amazing wallpapers is taking about the history of villages and how they come. Nice , peaceful and less tourist.

One of the nice temple in Li District, Lumphun Province

Worship place, disability people can use many facilities

There is a beautiful architecture and large temple. It was a first time I went there I really like this place. On that time not much people. Maybe because it quite far from a big town like Chiang Mai or maybe because now still between COVID 19, so now there have only a local traveller... I hope I can see this temple in a cheerful festival. 😊

So nice and spiritual

Traveling in Thailand is very beautiful, really like any country in the world. I love Thailand.

A transformative experience. BLES is not just a sanctuary — it’s a place of respect, healing, and true love for elephants. Here, each animal has a name, a story, and the freedom they deserve. It’s impossible not to be moved by the strength of these giants, who carry scars on both their bodies and their memories, yet find peace in every step. The team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and dedicated. Even with the language barrier, I felt completely at home — like I was among friends. If you’re looking for a place where tourism meets purpose, and animal welfare comes first, BLES is the right destination. Eternally grateful for everything I experienced here. A visit that leaves a mark on your soul. 🐘💚 #BLES #AnimalWelfare #ResponsibleTourism

If I could have given a 10 (instead of 5 being the highest) I would. BLES is an amazing organization doing amazing things for the elephants. This is a true sanctuary where the elephants can just be elephants. I felt welcome as soon as I met Katherine and her beautiful family and staff. Right off we went on an elephant walk and found Lotus. She was making a rumbling sound hoping to find her other elephant friends. Once she did, the sound of pure excitement coming from them was so incredible. We would also have lunch delivered to a treehouse where we could watch the elephants below just be elephants. There is so much to rave about I can’t wait to return.

My wife and I went to Thailand for three weeks for our honeymoon, and the four days we spent at Boon Lott's was absolutely the highlight of our trip. If you truly care about the well being of elephants, this is the only ethical option in Thailand. I was overwhelmed with the beauty and majesty of their resident elephants, and the team (mahouts) working with the elephants are so wonderful - they lead and train with love and deep trust, and it is so clear. The family who runs the place are honestly some of the sweetest, kindest, most loving people you will meet. We ate the best food of our trip here. They fed us three solid meals a day, family style, and their love shone through their food. We really felt cared for and part of the family. There are also dogs and cats on site which definitely added to the experience! It is worth every single penny, and you will not want to leave. I really truly hope we can make visiting Boon Lott's a tradition. Thank you so much to everyone at BLES!!!

My husband and I just visited Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary as part of our honeymoon. We spent 3 nights and 3 days here. It was absolutely AMAZING! The experience to be so close to such big, gorgeous, intelligent creatures was so inspiring. Also, everyone at BLES is SO INCREDIBLY KIND. Note that in general the activities here are a bit physically active. We went on long hikes and it was a bit physically taxing. Though, if you ever did not want to do an activity there was always an option to not participate but honestly they were the best part. The food here was INCREDIBLE. At the sanctuary it is all vegan food. It was probably the best food I have had in thailand. Getting a reservation here was not that hard, really you just need to email Katherine early (we did ours a year in advance) and don't expect a reply right away. There is NO internet access at the sanctuary and most phone carrier signal does not work, so she has to travel to a different place to send emails etc. After you made your reservation you let her know when you are arriving (the sukhothai airport is where we arrived) and she will send someone to pick you up. They keep the groups very small here, up to 6. We had 4 people (my husband and me and another great couple). We had so much fun being with these people. It is a great place to meet like minded people from around the world.

Friend and I booked a stay on our 1st trip to Thailand. You need to book in advance you cannot show up unannounced. The owner, her family, and all staff are a joy to be around. Kathrine is passionate in what she does, educated in the care of all animals at BLES, and has created a truly magical place. If you're looking for an educational humbling experience while witnessing elephants in their natural state this is the place to go. Not to mention all the amazing vegan food! Highly recommend and hope to be back in the future.

We visited for 3 days with our 3 children (booked several months in advance) and as the kids describe it, it was, "Epic...Ten stars...Awesome!" It was truly an immersive experience, learning about elephants, mahouts, Thai culture and the community. Katherine and her family were so welcoming, as were all the staff at BLES. The food was the some of best vegetarian/vegan food we have had! All our needs were taken care of, and we felt like part of the family. We cannot put into words how enriching the experience was for all of us. Spending time with the beautiful elephants was a very special experience we won't forget. We recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about elephants and seeing them in a safe environment. We hope to be back again!

My husband and I had the best experience at BLES with Katherine and her family. We felt completely at home. It was obvious how passionate everyone at BLES is about elephant welfare. We loved learning from Katherine and the mahouts and observing the elephants being elephants. Couldn't recommend enough! Coming to BLES was the highlight of our trip to Thailand.

Si Satchanalai Historical Park is very beautiful and peaceful. The ancient temples and ruins are well preserved and surrounded by greenery and in a natural setting. It feels less crowded than Sukhothai Historical Park, giving you plenty of time and space to really enjoy the atmosphere.

We had a fabulous morning at this historical park. The price for a foreigner is now 200 baht each. The electric bus costs 60 baht per person.

Yet again two tier pricing, expect as a foreigner for Admission you will pay 10 times the price of a Thai. 20Baht for Thai, 200Baht for foreigner. Apart from the price gouging the venue is well kept the historical Temples are quite a spectacle, November is nice and cool to explore the whole facility, allow four hours to cover most of the grounds. There are guided tours, bike hire or Trams to get around with Tram stops located throughout.

I would like to highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in ancient cities and temple ruins. The historical park is large with many trees, so it wasn't too hot while riding a bike in the park. It has a different feel from Sukhothai Historical Park. This place is a must-visit if you go to the Sukhothai area. However, public transportation may not be convenient.

Monday 6th October 2025: Another huge site that covers a few different locations Well worth visiting, give yourself plenty of tine fo visit the different locations on the site. Make sure you have water and shade with you once your inside.

Far quieter to the main Sukhothai historical park. If you’re on a road, highly suggest you make the journey here. Bike rentals are available for 30baht

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. This place is like stepping into another time. Ancient temples, quiet tree-lined paths, and barely any crowds—perfect for a relaxing and meaningful walk. There are so many well-preserved ruins, especially Wat Chang Lom and Wat Chedi Jet Thaew. You can rent a bicycle at the entrance and explore the park at your own pace—highly recommended! The area is much quieter than Sukhothai Historical Park, but just as charming. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and some water. And don’t forget your camera—every corner is photo-worthy! If you're into history, culture, or just love peaceful vibes, this place is a must-visit.

Beautiful pagoda and well maintained surroundings. Wear thick socks if you want to walk around the pagoda in day time or start in the evening because shoes are not allowed. The museum is quite interesting. It contained items donated from the locals. You'll get to see a glimpse of how they live over time.

Lovely temple in Tak northern Thailand. Is created in Myanmar style as not far from that border. Definitely worth a visit if in area

The Buddidh temple in Tak.There is the big Buddha and the beautiful golden pagodas.

Great 👍

A hot day to walk around but it is a lovely temple with lots of shops to buy offerings. Definitely worth a visit.

Look lovely. Chanting and beautiful photos. Fab r

Nice relaxing Spiritual Museum

The best I had here in sukhothai. I was kind of disappointed that i could find any good to eat in sukhothai. This place is a gems.

Super cool restaurant right down the street from the airport. My wife and I had a delicious meal here while we tried to blow some time between our hotel checkout time and our flight out of the airport. The food and drinks here were absolutely delicious! Not only that, but it also comes with a really cool view of the farm and we were told we could walk around and explore which was very fun. The restaurant grows its own food and has a cool story and partnership with Bangkok Airways (attached in photo) that I learned about and made eating there and then flying the airline all the more interesting and enjoyable to me. Again, highly recommend!

Very nice restaurant and wonderful atmosphere n ambience. Good service with a wide range of food items to choose from plus very reasonable price. Definitely recommend a visit!!!

I spent a half day for the activities. It's very good agriculture protect in the airport area. Food at the restaurant were very fresh and tasty.

Kind staffs. Vegetarian dishes r available during the yearly season.

Very interesting place very quiet during the week enjoys the gardens and farming in sites.

Organic food restaurant, not recommended for those adore spicy food // kinda boring to me

We had an amazing time at Ta Thai cooking class near Sukhothai. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, it felt authentic and we were driven door to door. Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Our Malaysian clients were thoroughly delighted by the cooking class in Sukhothai. Ta's patient and expertly guided session, accompanied by a warm smile, made it an absolutely captivating experience. It's evident that Ta is a seasoned chef in Thai traditional cuisine. I recommend Ta Thai Cooking Class to anyone eager to learn the art of cooking authentic Thai dishes and desserts!

Absolutely delightful experience, fabulous surroundings and facilities and such experienced teachers, I’ll be back.👏👏👏👏👏

Amazing food, wonderful people!

Nice place , good and kind people ❤️

(Translated by Google) We did a cooking class with Ta, really cool! On the menu, spring rolls, chicken panang curry, pad thai of course and thai pandan crustard to eat with steamed bread, a delight! Thanks Ta! (Original) Nous avons fait un cours de cuisine avec Ta, vraiment chouette! Au menu, rouleaux de printemps, panang curry au poulet, pad thaï évidemment et thaï crustard au Pandan a manger avec du pain à la vapeur, un délice! Merci Ta!

(Translated by Google) Very good time! I recommend, the chef and her kitchen help are both really very nice. We ate the dishes as the workshop progressed but we were also able to take away what we didn't eat. Great ! (Original) Très bon moment ! Je recommande, la cheffe et son aide cuisine sont toutes deux vraiment très gentille. Nous avons mangé les plats au fur et à mesure de l'atelier mais nous avons aussi pu emporter ce que nous n'avons pas mangé. Super !

Very satisfying experience. It is a little far to get there but definitely worth the effort to visit. Very quiet wooded surroundings with a lot fewer tourists.

It's the main ruins in the west area. This may be the only one where you should visit in the west. You have to go up a bit, may take 10 to 15 minutes to come to the top of the hill. There is the ruins on the top of the hill and you can see nice view from the top. It's worth to visit.

Wat Saphan Hin is a serene hilltop temple in Sukhothai Historical Park, known for its towering 12.5 meter standing Buddha and panoramic views of the surrounding plains. Sitting about 200 meters above the ancient city, Wat Saphan Hin dates back to the 13th century. A place of royal pilgrimage, King Ramkhamhaeng is said to have visited to pay his respects. The temple’s name, which means “Stone Bridge Monastery,” comes from the slate pathway that leads visitors up the hillside. It is calming as the Phra Attharot Buddha stands doing the abhaya mudra hand gesture, symbolic of reassurance and protection.

3rd July 2023. The highlight of the west area is definitely Wat Sapuan Hin. Worth 100baht, the cycle & climb up the hill for the tranquility & serenity. I think another 25baht for bringing the bicycle in. My visit was interrupted by a brief rain shower but I was the only visitor. South from here are other historical sites all the way till the Dam, also worth the time & effort too.

Wat Saphan Hin is a FREE visit area in most west zone out of Sukhothai Historical Park. You need to wake up early if you want to enjoys the view of sunrise (prefer start depart at 5.30pm) because this temple built on the hills approximately 50m high. At here you can feel the peaceful and quiet atmosphere, is a place that suitable to calms and ponder.

300m climb to the temple from the road as the temple is 200m above the boat nice views of the valley from the top. separate ticket is required to visit this temple. Thais 20 baht non Thai 100 baht

A somewhat steep walk up from the road to a large Buddha statue. Offers nice views of the rest of the park.

One of the most striking in the park. We enjoyed our visit. The Northern area ticket is 120 bat. We love how the figure inside reveals itself from afar and then again as you round the corner to enter. There are a few small vendors at this location including a refreshing iced coffee and smoothie stand to beat the heat.

Great authentic temple, must-visit when coming to sukothai. Local guide was very friendly and took some pictures of us touching Buddha's hand, as local habits/belief recommend to do (you can make a wish when doing so)

Ever wanted to be silently judged by a 700-year-old Buddha the size of an apartment block? Welcome to Wat Si Chum, where a giant stone Buddha peers through a narrow slit in the temple wall like it knows every bad life choice you’ve ever made. This 15-meter-tall Buddha has been staring unblinking since the late 13th century, which explains why the place feels less like a tourist attraction and more like divine surveillance. The narrow chamber forces you to tilt your head back, as if the Buddha is saying, “Yes, bow lower, sinner.” Historically, it was part of the Sukhothai Kingdom’s grand plan to wow the faithful, and even centuries later it still works, you walk in feeling like a traveler, walk out feeling like you’ve been spiritually roasted. The surrounding ruins are tranquil enough, but it’s the giant hand resting gracefully on its knee that steals the show. People line up to touch it, probably hoping some of that eternal patience rubs off before they snap another 500 selfies. Wat Si Chum isn’t just a temple, it’s a reminder that some beings don’t need Wi-Fi to keep tabs on you.

Considered the principle temple of the northern zone of Sukhothai Historical Park, Wat Si Chum dates back to the late 13th century and is steeped in both history and legend. The temple’s name means “Temple of the Bodhi Tree." The 11.3-meter-wide sitting, stucco Buddha, known as Phra Achana, embodies the Sukhothai ideal of spiritual fearlessness through the calm expression. The temple is also famous for its hidden passageways inside the walls, where ancient slate slabs once illustrated Jataka tales (stories of the Buddha’s past lives). According to legend, these passages allowed voices to echo from within, giving rise to the nickname “Speaking Buddha.”

I love this place. This might be my favorite ancient ruin in Thailand. So beautiful and if has a special feeling there too.

The Buddha Statue is amazing, but ticket THB 120 for 1 time visit is a little too expensive, because there was actually nothing else to see. Better to rent a bicycle for riding around (only THB 30 ~ 50/day).

Beautiful temple and a must visit place in Sukothai. Try to visit in the morning before 11 AM for the best light and great pictures. Paid 120 baht foreigner fee for the entry.

Wat Sorasak is located outside the main courtyard of Sukhothai National Park. You can visit this without paying for entrance fees. What is unique about this are the elephants holding the base of the stupa. Most of the elephants were restored and its obvious that they used cement to reconstruct it. Nonetheless, it looks good on photos. There is also a huge lily/lotus pond beside it.

The Wat Sorasak is a temple located in the central zone inside the old walled town. You can see a beautiful Chedi surrounded by elephants.

Free to visit. The elephants at this site was nicely restored. We spent about 10 minutes at the site. I wished there was more info about the site. But overall, great site to check out!

Built in 1412 during the height of the Sukhothai Kingdom, Wat Sorasak was commissioned by Nai Intha Sorasak, after whom it is named. The temple’s standout feature is its Sri Lankan–style bell-shaped chedi, which rises from a square base supported by the sculpted forequarters of elephants. In ancient Thai culture, elephants represented both royal power and spiritual guardianship, making this design both symbolic and visually striking. White elephants in particular are auspicious in Thailand.

For elephants lovers, a small temple away from the main Sukhothai tours. I was there before night, such a peaceful and charming site.

The carved elephants are stunning, very well preserved too. It's also a nice, calm spot to take a rest.

Elephants are all preserved. Few tourists here. No admission fee is required.

One of the pleasures of Sukhothai Historical Park is that there are several different complexes of monuments to visit. Most visitors bring or rent a bike because the ruins are quite spread out. Wat Sra Sri features an impressive bell-shaped chedi and a seated Buddha set among moats, ponds and parkland.

One of the nicer temples in the Sukhothai Historical Park. Worth a visit of say 30 minutes and while there you can enjoy the shade provided by the small hut alongside the water. For more of my travel adventures you are welcome to visit my travel blog called Two Passports Packed which can be found through a Google search.

It's ruins in the pond. It's beautiful. Specially nigt time.

The small ruin of the Wat Sa Si is beautifully situated in the midst of Traphang-Trakuan lake. The temple has a Lanka styled stupa, with the vihara of Wat Sa Si situated on the east side of the stupa. On a small peninsula east of the temple ruins lie the foundations of an ordination hall.

The Wat Sa Si temple inside Sukhothai Historical Park were you can rent a bike, go on an open bus, golf cart or just walk on your own. And specially in Loi Krathong and Candle Festival is a must.

Beautiful place to visit, we feel the peace at this place, rent a bike a it’s the best you can do to visit the whole place.

A lovely walking Buddha that you can’t see often outdoor but in museums. A very nice temple into the central section of Sukhothai.

A fairly non-descript statue in the middle of the Sukhothai Historical Park. Worth a short visit.

It's statue. It's located in front of the palce where the night market is held.

Must visit within the sukhothai park, be sure to rent a bike and enjoy !

It is in the Sukothai historical park. it has a monument and statue of the great king of the Sukothai kingdom

It's just a simple statue, without that much information about the history of it

Nice place and statue located in Sukhothai national parc.

The monument is in the Sukothai Historic Park. You are free to wander among these ancient ruins with spectacular Buddha statues everywhere. Uncrowded, serene with water filled moats and wonderful ambience. A place to relax, absorb history and amble out cycle around for a full day. Quite extraordinary and personal.

Excellent site well maintained. You can hire a bicycle or have a trolly car for large number. Nice food stalls very authentic Thai food. Vibrant space with boards in English and Thai Chinese explaining the history. Some function was being prepared and lot of temporary wood stalls, decoration was being put up. Nearby Market also has a Wat excellent landscaping with water pond and place for feeding fish.

Oh my word! After the hideous colour-themed, spray-painted modern monstrosities of the temples in Chiang Rai, this place is an absolute dream. So many ruins of temples, pagodas, statues of Buddha, and other religious iconography all within a beautiful natural setting. A place of serenity, peace and calm. We hired bikes for 30 baht to visit the main site and used them for the rest of the day to cycle the bicycle trail marked on the roads leading to other temple ruins in the rural outskirts. You can use your ticket to go in and out as many times as you want. We went back for sunset. Can't understand why some people moan about 'foreigners ' having to pay more than nationals. It's less than £5 to visit an incredible place where you will easily spend more than a couple of hours. Less than a fancy coffee or a pint in London!! We only paid to get into the central zone - it's got everything you'd want to see within it.

Great place to explore. Many ancient temple ruins which can keep you occupied for hours if you want to stroll around the park, or hire a bike as many do. Or you can hire a golf cart type buggy, ask at the entrance, for 2-4 people that will drive you around the park with guided commentary or there are larger 12-14 seat buses that take you round the park. So something for everyone. We spent 4 hours there on foot and see everything in the central area. Just as we were leaving the lights were coming on so the park was looking very atmospheric. Other than the central area If you hire a bike you can see the rest of the area and follow the bicycle route, plenty more ruins to find, the shops and restaurants around its perimeter, and the streets come alive in the evening with food stalls. So you can end your day with authentic Thai food and sit on the grass next to the river and relax. Great time had 👍👍🇹🇭🇹🇭

An UNESCO heritage site about 60 kms from Phitsanulok. Very well maintained and covers a vast area. You can rent a push bike for Thb 30 and also choose from the electric vehicles if you are a bigger group. The grounds are superbly maintained. Entry per person is thb 200 per person. Washroom facilities available.

This is such an interesting place. I hate to be critical but I wish they told the story of the people though… I did not get the sense of what the city had been, who lived there, what their lives were like day to day. The museum has lovely artifacts, however it also does not tell the story. Maybe every Thai knows the story but coming from a distant land without knowledge of Thailand the story still escapes me. Perhaps an audio guide would be helpful or even signage at each point. I envision something along the lines of ( Sukhothai has been inhabited since —-, this structure was originally built in —- out of—- notice —- in approximately —— the structure was transformed into a — notice ——. In the years of —- the city was abandoned because of —— it wasn’t until the year of —- that the city was rediscovered —— today ——) what I really want to understand is how people were ruled, lived, worked and worshiped across time. The place is magnificent but I missed the story of the people who have lived there and that’s why I go. You definitely get an “Indiana Jones“ feel in parts.

We did the full circuit by bicycle so we could see everything, and it was absolutely worth it. Besides being fun, it really helps you make the most of your time and visit every corner of the site. The ruins are well preserved, and if you arrive early in the morning, you’ll not find many people around.

We enjoyed our visit over two days. We started with a day in the central area and then another day in the Northern and Western areas. Bicycles work great to travel between the Wat, there are so many to see. The central entry was 200 bat and 10 bat for a bike, very reasonable. The Northern entry was 120 bat and there was no ticket required for the western area.

I explored a stunning 14th-century monastery in Sukhothai, surrounded by ancient trees. The aged buildings whispered stories of the past. Intricate carvings and a majestic chedi stood as testaments to skilled craftsmanship. A peaceful atmosphere enveloped the entire place, perfect for reflection. The air was fragrant with the scent of flowers. Giant banyan trees provided shade and a sense of timeless serenity. It's a must-see for anyone visiting Sukhothai.

Excellently organised. CLEAN and markers in English. Bicycle available for 30 thaibaht. Local Food available in the Park. Clean and many toilets inside. Not very large area so is manageable on Bicycle. Very friendly people. There is a Museum that I missed because of lack of time. Outside the parks there is a Buddhist Monastery. Worth a visit.

Wat Mahathat is the largest and most important temple in Sukhothai Historical Park, once the spiritual and political heart of the Sukhothai Kingdom. Built in the 13th century under King Sri Indraditya, its name means “Temple of the Great Relic.” Located at the very center of the old walled city, right beside the royal palace, Wat Mahathat was designed according to the mandala concept, symbolizing the universe. At its core stands the iconic lotus-bud chedi, a hallmark of Sukhothai architecture, surrounded by more than 200 smaller stupas, viharns, and Buddha images in a mix of Sukhothai, Lanna, and Sri Lankan styles. The temple’s grand scale reflected its role as the religious center of the kingdom, where relics of the Buddha were enshrined and major ceremonies were held.

The central complex at Sukhothai Historical Park, Wat Matathat is a treasure trove of seated and walking Buddhas from Sukhothai. The whole area is a mass of lotus bud chedis, stupas and mondops, sometimes including stucco decoration. The complex is marvellously photogenic whichever way you look. A must-see for fans of Thai architecture and art.

Thailand is all about Wats, showing how religion has been fundamental in the country’s history. After visiting many of the ancestral buildings, for the size, number of Buddhas and the clean part of the city, this is the one I would recommend to visit. Early morning or late afternoon are the best time, usually is not crowded and there’s plenty of space to enjoy. Particularly I did in a rental bike, that’s great since you can move around easily and includes AC, which you appreciate after each stop. This is a must, despite several others, this is part of an antique city.

Of the central section, the main temple where everyone goes. For sure, it impresses and cannot be missed. Go there early morning, the park opens at 06.30 ! a chance to enjoy cool atmosphere, soft lighting and have the whole temple for yourself.

Wat Mahathat is the most beautiful place in the whole park IMO (along with Si Phum). Spacious area with the main building surrounded with stupas and buddha statues. It's good to see it early in the morning or after 1.00 pm (when the crowd is less intense). Must be incredible during sunsets and sunrises, but didnt make it 🙄

Spent almost 2 hours there, very informative and interesting... a lot of information is English, some signs on the first floor though, are unfortunately only in Thai, but you can translate them with google...

Spending time in a national museum here was a bless for me. Many artifacts and knowledge that I could learn from this place. Also, they have the ac on, and free water to refill with Jasmine flowers where I did put on my water bottle which made it enjoyable to drink in a hot day

Not what I expected I think they sent the best things to Bangkok. 150 for foreigners so not bad but not all is translated.

The museum contains information about the whole province of Sukhothai as well as a big exhibition about the historical park and what they found there. You can see a lot of art, Buddhas and ceramic here and they made it really informative with texts in Thai and English, as well as some interactive elements. Still I think 200 Baht could have been a kombi ticket for historical park and museum, or at least for all the other smaller temples where they also have enty fees

There are many interesting artefacts on display, complementing the ancient sites. I also found the diorama explanation of Buddhist architecture very helpful, unfortunately after I had already visited many of the sites in and around Sukhothai! Explanations could be improved with more detailed notes explaining the importance of each item. Unfortunately, some of the notes were only in Thai.

What a pleasant surprise! I came to this museum with no expectation at all. Thought that, ok, outside is hot so why not cooling down by entering this museum. So happy with my decision to enter and check out the antiquities of ancient times here. Feel smarter as I walked out of the museum as I learners more about history of Sukhothai and Thailand in general 😊

The place is open every day. even holidays The entrance fee is 30 baht for Thais, 150 baht for foreigners. Inside there are artifacts. Mostly associated with the Sukhothai era See the ancient sites at Sukhothai Historical Park. Don't forget to see the artifacts at the Rakhamhaeng National Museum as well.

Apart from the touristic mainstream, an isolated temple with a Chedi supported by elephants. Nobody there at sunshine despite its location behind a popular hotel. A moment of peace and spirituality.

It's ruins at east side. Many elephant statues are in the big stupa. Nice location to feel and think something.

Very charming, the carved elephants are very beautiful and gave this temple it's name (chang means elephant). Rather quiet and serene away from the usual tourist path.

Magnificent.Worth for visiting, not far from Sukhothai Historical Park if you have bicycles or car. The temple have not much tourists , you can take times to enjoy the scenery around.It has 39 elephants statue around the base of the pagoda.

Very impressive Wat nevertheless some of the elephants have been rebuild. This helps imagine how this beautiful temple has looked like. Great stop when you drive to new Sukhothai by bike.

The temple consists of the main pagoda in circular bell shape with 32 elephant statues around its base, a vihara to enshrine a Buddha image which is now in ruins, the ordination hall, surrounded by water in accordance with the concept of Udaka Sima, subordinate chedi and a boundary wall to enclose the whole temple.

It is not big but in good condition. The stone elephants are beautiful. Nice spot for pictures.

Among several Buddhist temples in a vast and amazing Sukhothai historic park, this one is a Hindu Temple. It was built in early 13 cent, included in the entry ticket

It's ruins. It's a bit different from the others and some aculptures are still sharp and beautiful.

One of the lesser known temples in Sukhothai Historical Park, it’s still worth a visit if only for a short while. For more of my travel adventures you are welcome to visit my travel blog called Two Passports Packed which can be found through a Google search.

Great place. You can enter for free before 6am or after 6pm.

Wat Si Sawai is one of the oldest temples in Sukhothai, the temple was founded in the late 12th or early 13th century as a Hindu shrine to Vishnu and the site of the Thiruppavai ceremony. The temple is enclosed by a double rampart and a moat. Striking are the three well-preserved laterite prangs representing the Hindu Trinity. The lower parts are of Khmer origin, while the upper part is of Thai make. Each prang contains a cella, possibly a stage for a lingam or statue, and a crypt. Around the 14th century the temple was adapted to the Buddhist faith: the vihara was added to the south of the central prang.

The only Khamer style temple in the fenced Historical Park area. Well preserved/reconstructed - including most of the sandstone perimeter wall. Some Instagrammer dodging required (but possible) :-)

Perhaps one of the oldest temples in the Sukathai historic complex demonstrates strong Khmer influence, reminiscent of structures you might see in Anghor Wat. A stunningly well preserved/restored site with a great aura of tranquility and spirituality.
