Wat Mahathat

It felt like jump back in time 700 years…..I guess mostly because I was pretty much alone, that helped.
It is well kept and the amazing thing is that you can literarily walk through the ruins.
Well worth it, especially for the sunset.

Beautiful views of the architecture. Very hot today. 38 degrees celsius. Great experience!

By far the largest wat in the area, and while it's mostly a ruin now, you could really imagine how spectacular it must have been in its prime! Really nice to walk around and explore all the details here!

The central point of Sukhothai Historical Park. This wat is famous for its standing buddha statue with Sukhothai style. As a visitor, you will also be amazed with the architecture such as the giant pillars inside the wat. It's recommended to rent a bike to get around.

Fantastic beautiful Thai temple, this historical place is the place for Loy Krathong festival here. I couldn’t come at night time but I do believe it will be very beautiful. You can see many beautiful temples. This historical park is more than 700 years. Mostly is ruins temples. It’s world heritage as UNESCO mentions. The sunset time is very nice. Rental bike to drive around the park is recommended 😄🚲

Although much parts of the temple are some ruins, but the temple has an unbelievable yard with tidy garden and giant trees. Very nice place to visit and learn Thai History.

Nice place to see part of Thai history. First capitol of Thailand.

Even under the sun at 43 degrees it was really nice.. you can enjoy really well all the kingdom with a bike.

Beautiful temple in the historical park.

The central, and most important temple within the historical park. Multiple incredible structures and statues that are visually and architecturally stunning. Linger here and take it in from all angles. Definitely recommend - if you came to Sukothai, you should see this temple.

Truly amazing. For me, it is the best part in this historical park. Not only the scenery at the sunset, the views from different angles and spots have their own great charm and beauty. Take your time here and stay until the sun goes down deep into the ground and stars appear on the sky. You will love its night view and atmosphere.

Very nice place to visit lots off historic things to see amazing temples

We can't imagine how the the people in that era make all these thing and the rule, the architecture design thinking are so impressive.

Well preserved ruins. The entrance to the park is free during the Loy Krathong festival.

Historical places, you can spend half day here.
Recommend to hire bike or Mini golf vehicle to explore this place.

Visited Feb 9. 2018.
An awe inspiring and beautiful historic site. Felt like we were somewhere that time forgot. No other tourists were here February 2018 but maybe it’s become more popular. We took a round trip 2 hr bus from Chang Mai.

Ancient city from years past in Sukothai. Nice place to visit and learn about thai history. 30 baht for Thai people and 100 baht if you're foreign to get in. Tour trolley is available or walk, rent a bike outside and cost 10 baht to get in to ride the bike inside.

Ayutthaya was great but Wat Mahathat is such a 💎 in comparison.

Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai Province, is in Sukhothai Historical Park. It was built in the reign of Pho Khun Si Intharathit, the first king of Sukhothai Kingdom. The temple is spacious. From the front of the temple, you can clearly see the buddha image and pagoda of the temple which reflect the glory days of Sukhothai Kingdom.

New Year counted down over there. It was amazing to attended the event. Event is tiny but the most beautiful event ever. 3rd time in 2021 that i keep visiting this place
