i forgot the names of these temples.

great pics

Great images WM. Years ago I lived in Sukhothai for a time {Amphoe Sri Satch & Sri Sam Rong}....Sri Satchanalai is perhaps overlooked for historical types, but it is strikingly important to historic content {older the Sukhothai Old City}. The 2-dayers that trip on through Sukhothai tend to miss this park - either they're not aware of it or it's rather off the beaten track......:)

yes, or either that they go to Sukhothai on a tour and the guide just shows them what the foreingers would like better. sure. i really like doing things my way and if any thai person says don't bother, i still go anyway :)

Si Satchanalai National Park

Another Tour of Si Satchanalai

Reading Terrys thread made me think of this place. A real gem and not as well visited as other ancient sites. It's such a big site you can hire bikes to get around. Alao a campsite down by the river. Well worth a visit.

Good find...
