Archeological sites

Other stops in our travels in northern Thailand included visits to the ruins of the kingdom of Sukothai in Sukothai and Kamphaengphet. Thai script was developed by King Ramkhamhaeg but is has been modified since then. Anyway. There are many temples that are quite impressive and definitely worh the visit.
The ruins at Sukothai are spread over a large area, so we rented bicycles to take a tour.

During the Sykothai period, this region was known for the production of glazed ceramics called sangkhalok. These are still produced in modern kilns, but ruins for old kilns are still easy to find.
