4 Mini Light and Sound Presentation Sukhothai Night SUKHOTHAI
Sukhothai was the �rst kingdom of Thailand established some 700 years ago. The province is located on the lower edge of the northern region, 427 kilometres north of Bangkok, and covers some 6,596 square kilometres. Established in around 1237-1257, Sukhothai literally means “Dawn of Happiness.” Phokhun Si Intharathit was the founder of the Phra Ruang Dynasty, Sukhothai’s �rst Dynasty. For 120 years as the capital of Thailand, Sukhothai was ruled by many kings. In this connection, the most dynamic monarch being King Ramkhamhaeng the Great, who created the Thai alphabet, laid the foundation for politics, monarchy, and religion, as well as, expanded its boundary of in�uence. Though the golden era of Sukhothai no more existed, tourists should bear in mind that respect and admiration for the renowned ruined twin cities of Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai is valued. Sukhothai is administratively divided into 9 districts (Amphoe); namely, Amphoe Mueang Sukhothai, Amphoe Kong Krailat, Amphoe Khiri Mat, Amphoe Thung Saliam, Amphoe Ban Dan Lan Hoi, Amphoe Si Satchanalai, Amphoe Si Samrong, Amphoe Sawankhalok, and Amphoe Si Nakhon.
