Travel Sukhothai: Visit Si Satchanalai Historical Park
Visit Si Satchanalai Historical Park http://www.hotsia.com > Travel Sukhothai > Visit Si Satchanalai Historical Park. This trip, I drove to explore ancient sites. Actually, I don't usually prefer this kind of travel, but to offer a complete range of experiences on hotsia, I decided to do it. I also hoped to experience cultural tourism by staying at a homestay and living with the locals of Si Satchanalai, but I haven't had the chance yet. So, I only visited the evening market and saw the gold cloth.
I have prepared information about Si Satchanalai Historical Park for friends http://www.sukhothai.go.th. This is not my own writing. Mr.Hotsia September 2011. Si Satchanalai Historical Park is located in Si Satchanalai Subdistrict, in the area called Kaeng Luang. It is 11 kilometers from Si Satchanalai District center towards Sawankhalok District, or about 550 kilometers from Bangkok. It covers areas in Si Satchanalai, Sarachit, and Nong O Subdistricts.
Tha Chai Subdistrict. The ancient city of Si Satchanalai is in the village of Phra Prang, Si Satchanalai Subdistrict, covering a total area of approximately 45.14 square kilometers. It was originally named Mueang Chaliang, then renamed Si Satchanalai during the reign of King Phra Ruang's dynasty when he ascended the Sukhothai throne and established a new city as the administrative center replacing Mueang Chaliang.
