I have been to Thailand many times. But until now I haven't seen Sukhothai. Same like travelling around Britain for a year and not seeing Stonehenge. I was always told by other foreigners that Sukhothai is amazing. That I must see it.
Nonsense. Ayuthaya is so much more fun. Sukhothai is like carefully planned perfectly conserved park historical park. Actually not like. Sukhothai is carefully planned perfectly conserved historical park. Without life. Tourist attraction. In Ayuthaya the ruins are scattered around present day town. Not that they are not carefully conserved. Not that they are not tourist attractions. But they feel more real. Old. And on top of it they are bigger. Always big plus when it comes to ruins.
