Visitors can now bring the ancient culture<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Thai</strong>land’s first capital back to life in<br />

galleries and workshops that dot the<br />

UNESCO World Heritage city<br />

Visitors to the UNESCO World Heritage<br />

ruins in Sukhothai are now getting the<br />

chance to bring the fascinating history <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Thai</strong>land’s first capital back to life.<br />

Local artists are opening their studios to hold<br />

workshops where tourists can learn to make<br />

anything from clay Buddhist amulets and heritage<br />

ceramicware to intricate textiles.<br />

Sukhothai’s cultural roots can be traced in its<br />

distinctive blue-green glazed ceramic ware called<br />

Sangkhalok. These gleaming ceramics lit up the<br />

kingdom from 1238 to 1428 CE, and the centuriesold<br />

craft has been revived to make Sangkhalok<br />

Sukhothai’s most famous product today.<br />
