    Dvaravati empire is the first empire of Siam (Thailand) like 2,000-3,000 years old. Si Thep is part of it and was recently announced as World Heritage by UNESCO. It's more than 1,700 years old. UNESCO also claimed Si Thep School of Art has influenced other civilizations in South East Asia including Angkor Wat. Si Thep ancient city is located in Petchaboon not far from Sukhothai.

    I'm so honored to be part of your journey, and my recomendation impressed you. // Fun fact: the trees in the ruins were planted to immitate the actual environment in the past. There're signs by the fine arts department of Thailand. If you scan with the application, you can see how the completed temple were like back then.

    Hi Jason, thank you for visiting my beloved hometown. Sukhothai is a historical town with old charm and the nicest, friendliest people. Food are amazing and authentic. There are a lot of Sukhothai noodle menu sold in Bangkok but you need to have it in Sukhothai to know how good a simple noodle can be. We welcome all travels to our exotic town.

    I am traveling to Thailand this coming November for four weeks and have Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai on my list. It's the only place on my list where I haven't solved the transportation issue. Will be in Chiang Rai before going to Sukhothai and don't want a LONG bus ride and there are no direct flights.

    The yellow bikes are failed experiment of rent-a-bike app in Bangkok a few years ago. The Chinese operator decided to cut loss and abandoned the project and the remaining bikes were sold cheaply to the Thai public. It seems this report bought quite a few. One thing about this bike is that it is sturdy built and should last for years or even decades if it is properly serviced. Simply oiling chains regularly and occasionally adjust chain's tension should be enough.

    You are wrong. Thai or Siam had never been colonized by Khmer but in contrast, Khmer was colonized by Siam for more than 200 years. Khmer is not the founder of Angkor Wat, but it's Khom, the genesis of Siam or Thai recently. You can get through deep details at the museum or just google it. Nowadays, Khmer misunderstand that they are the founder of everything because while they were colonizing, they derived all Siam cultures or traditions from Siam. Their ancestors who knew well about history were killed by their interior wars and the new generation just acknowledges that all Khmer cultures and traditions are their own. Presently, there still be a conflict in this history between Cambodia and Thailand but if you gather this issue, you will know that there is a lot of evidence revealed and pointed to Thailand. Khmer is just a slave of Siam. They cannot even do handcrafting or weaving. Thai dresses and all art handcrafts with them were imported from Thailand.
