November–February.

Getting there from the UK

Fly to Sukhothai (THS) from Bangkok, or travel overland via Phitsanulok.

Top tips

  • Cycle the Historical Park; it's flat and spread out.
  • Stay in the old city to be there at sunrise.
  • Combine it with Chiang Mai on a north-bound route.
  • Why it's underrated: Quieter than Ayutthaya, with a more peaceful setting.

Before you go

  • Check the latest entry requirements and travel advice on GOV.UK.
  • Buy travel insurance (and carry your GHIC in Europe).
  • Check baggage allowances — budget airline fees add up.
