Most visitors come to Sukhothai to see the temples in the historical park. However, just a ten-minute bike ride from the main entrance of the city center is a workshop for making Buddha amulets. This craft has been practiced there for six generations, and tourists can create their own amulets. Kob and his wife will warmly welcome you, explain the techniques, and demonstrate the process. Before a demonstration of ancient fire-making techniques and archery, you'll be offered a light snack and a Thai dessert. Kob speaks English, so participation is no problem. Please call at least one day in advance to reserve (see phone number below). Allow at least one hour for the workshop, but you are welcome to stay as long as you like.

Price per person: 300 THB (no minimum number of participants). Reservations must be made at least one day in advance by calling 089-643-6219 (English only). Thai mobile number. Open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

From the entrance to the central and most important part of the Sukhothai Historical Park, the amulet workshop can be reached in ten minutes by bicycle.
