Sukhothai

Sukhothai was the capital for more than 150 years and the ruins of the temples which can be seen today are still impressive. The temples are widespread in the ancient city and some kilometers around of it, so we rented a motorbike to get around easily and with the heat it was a good idea.
The biggest and most beautiful temple is the Wat Mahathat with a lot of Chedis (bell shaped tower) and some Buddhas:

The are many more temples in the area, here are some photos of a few and also the panorama from a viewpoint:

Before coming to Sukhothai we made a stop on the way from Chiang Mai and visited the temple Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. It's the most beautiful wooden Lanna temple in the north of Thailand and the surrounding wall make it looks like a medival castle.
