Si Satchanalai Historical Park

A definite must visit. We got there a bit late at 4 pm, and the tram ride ends at 430pm. However, you can opt to walk, and the rangers allow you to stay past 5 pm, their closing time. Would have been better if we had arrived earlier and rented a bike for convenience. The park is well maintained, very shady, and perfect for a bike tour. Will definitely be back again. Foreigner pays 100b per person.

Beautiful park worth visiting even though a little out of the way. 100 baht entry, bicycle hire available. Some very old temples and some great Buddha statues. There is also an old fire sacrifice temple which is pretty cool. Recommend coming early as it gets hot in the afternoon

Super majestic and gorgeous historical park where there was no people at all! I was there the whole day, and I saw less than 10 visitors. I was surprised by the amount of visitors of this place. It felt like I had the whole place by myself there

Beautiful ancient archeological site nestled among majestic trees and scenery with monuments and sanctuaries displaying the splendid works of the Thai culture and nation. If you are in the area or even if you're not, it is a must visit site and worthy of the trip.

We toured this park via the tour guide driving a small tour bus. He drove us to the locations that have made this area famous amongst archaeologists. Some people hired bicycles to tour this historical park, others walked. Due to the heat, we enjoyed our tour bus option. Each item has a plaque that is written in Thai and English. We bought our park tickets from the office located not far from the park entry and the shops. There are food outlets near the main entry. To get to the historical park, we drove a rental car - but we did see some buses drive guests to the park’s main entry. The park entry was affordable. The park is well presented.

The magic of this park is the level of original detail that can be seen. Minimal restoration gives one the chance to see the true age and patina of ancient ruins. This is the perfect, next-day follow-up to a visit to Sukathai Historical Park, where the ruins have undergone a greater level of restoration.

Like Sukhotai historical park, this is another beautifully kept monument to Thailand's rich past.
Beautiful and inspiring. Well worth taking time out on your way north or south.

Tourist cart has major 3 stops for 15 min each. Less people here so you can enjoy slow trip. This historical park has a huge land in size, but the ruins are smaller relative to Ayuttaya or main Sukhothai historical park. They used peculiar volcano rocks and building style. Entrance fee Foreigner B100, Thai B20, Tourist cart B60.

I give my first time to Si Satchanalai Historical Park, first time heritage exploration. We choose to walk instead of rent a bicycle because we want to experience as a ancient people how they walk from one of temple to another temple, used our foot step to feel the power of every inch of land. We really enjoyed the entire itinerary of this Historical Park although the weather is very hot.

Another ancient city during the Sukhothai era. Perfect temples and preserved historical places with wonderful infrastructure in the past.

Beautiful park with many ancient ruins. It'll be hot, bring water. Bicycles are poorly maintained so be careful. Brakes didn't work of either of our bicycles. The warning not to ride down but rather push the bike down the big hill is reasonable. With functioning brakes it would've been fun but our bike had no brakes 😆😂

Having already visited Ayutthaya and Sukhothai Historical Parks we weren't sure if Si Satchanalai would just be more of the same. Actually, it was our favorite of all 3 because of the remote, park-like setting.

The best way to see any of these vast architectural wonders is by renting a bicycle to explore at your own pace. Si Satchanalai has multiple tree-lined paths which helps keep the sun away on a hot day.

Be sure to visit some of the temples outside of the gates of the main historical park... A MUST SEE is the Khmer-style Wat Phra SI Ratana Mahathat.

The local streets are safe for bike travel with very few vehicles and many friendly locals to greet along the way. There are also some restaurants and cafes along the road to take a break for lunch or a cold drink.

If you're planning a visit to Sukhothai, the hour drive north to this ancient sister city is definitely worth the trip!

Si Satchanalai Historical Park is located in Si Satchanalai district. It is open daily between 8.30 a.m.-4.30 p.m. Suppose you would like to visit here better come by car because it does not have public transportation. To survey the historical area, you can rent a bicycle for 30 baht to ride around the park. The historical park is very quiet and surrounded by big trees. It is very good to come.

World heritage and must see place. It is far away from ancient city but should be here if you visit Sukhothai. The location is mountain so this gives us opportunity to excercise. Pls ride the bicycle to absorb the feeling of 800 years old civilization. Many temples to see and imagine how beautiful this city was long time ago.

This park is 45 minutes- 1 hour drive from Sukhothai city. Very green and well maintained. It is a great place for family to bike around (1-2 hours). Rental bicycles are available for all ages.

Serene, airy, very historical experience😀. Do not miss Wat Mahathat in the river island (almost) and bring 1/2 day. Great walks, sights, pics😀👌👍😎

Very relaxed setting, very few people (as other reviewers said, you'll meet more gardeners than visitors). Renting a bicycle is definitely recommended unless you're an avid walker, the trees provide shade for most of the paths.

Large historical park with many historical monuments. Most of the area is wheelchair accessible except for the two temples on the hill(they can only be accessed with a staircase). There is a tour available where you will be brought to the temples with audio explanations from the driver. The tour is 20THB per person and last around an hour. You can also rent a bicycle for 30THB(an extra 10THB entrance fee if you have a bike). The park is large and will require around one and a half hour to see everything(with a bike). The park closes at 6pm.

We visited as part of a group exchange to the north. One can spend a lot of time wandering and exploring the many restored and preserved historic buildings. So much to see and learn about this expansive space.

Great place to see the ancient temples
