This week, Ploy and I traveled to Sukhothai, which was the former capital of Thailand. It was built in the 12 hundreds. and lasted for 350 years, under 9 Kings.
The ruins are spectacular, and I must say that you should visit them if you come to Thailand.
Please take a look at our pictures, and try to imagine that you were with us, looking at the most precious ruins in Thailand.
This ancient temple has begun to settle to the left.
I love how it leans, and still holds its beauty,
close to 1,000 years after completion.
These ruins are one of the most necessary places to travel to in Thailand, in order grasp Thai history, culture, and ancient city life.
The second location is Ahyuthia. The other former capital, before Bangkok had been made.
