Si Satchanalai Travel Guide: The Si Satchanalai Historical Park is often overlooked by foreign tourists because it's relatively unknown and getting there by bus (except with my tips below) isn't always straightforward. However, it's definitely worth a visit! Located about sixty kilometers from Sukhothai, this still-untouched natural setting is home to temples dating back to the Sukhothai period, all within a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Wat Chang Lom is the most famous and arguably the most beautiful temple in the park. The somewhat steep climb up the steps to Wat Khao Phanom Phloeng leads deep into the forest, and depending on the season, thousands of storks nest in the trees surrounding the temple. Cycling along the park's shaded paths and exploring the temple ruins is a very pleasant experience. Some might say that a visit is redundant if you've already been to the Sukhothai Historical Park, but the atmosphere here is quite different. And if, as we say, you like "old stones," you'll certainly be glad you spent a day of your Thailand trip in Si Satchanalai. Don't miss the beautiful Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Chaliang temple, located 3-4 kilometers outside the boundaries of the historical park. It's one of my favorite places in Si Satchanalai.

Accommodation in Si Satchanalai: There aren't many places to stay right next to the historical park, but you'll find some private accommodations, guesthouses, and hotels along the road between the historical park and Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat.
