点评:The park is a must if you are interested in the history of Thailand. If you have seen Ayutthia then you must also see Sukhothai. It predates Ayutthia and is historically important. Although there has been much reconstruction, the main park is very interesting. The park is divided into to three areas each with its own ticketing. Most people only do the main park as it is the easiest to access.
It is best to stay in accommodation in Old Sukhothai, as then it is just a walk to the park or you can hire a bicycle or buggy to get around. It would be hot and difficult to walk around the park , especially after 9.00am.
We stayed in the History cafe which is an old wooden house run by a delightful old man but it was not the accommodation for us as it had steep steps and the bathroom facilities were inadequate. It would suit younger people. However there are more expensive and suitable accommodations around.
Staying in New Sukhothai unless you had your own transport, is tedious with the long travel and additional expense.
In old Sukhothai you walk or bike to the park and hire an electric buggy 200B per hour (hire for two hours from the outset) from one of three sites outside the park. The park also arranges tuk tuks and cute car buggies (not for large people). The latter are squishy and more expensive than the more comfortable and larger buggies. You are given a laminated map (better than the paper one given with the ticket). The buggies have a place for your drink and you can leave bags (at your peril on busy days) in the buggy.
The ticket purchased from the ticket office is 100B per person (with thin paper map) and checked at the gate and at one other point in the park. There are toilets and drink points within the park.
You will spend a significant amount of the 1st hour at the Palace complex hence the need to hire for more than 1 hour at the outset. If you hire only for 1 hour and more than 10 mins over the next hour on the return, you are charged for the next full hour.
The paths are easy to drive on and you park outside each site and walk on to the site. Remember than you must obey the signs which tell you not to climb on the monuments.
In some sites there are photographic records of the reconstruction that has been done. Not restoration but reconstruction.
You have to bike or hire separate transport (tuk tuk (300B per hour)) to see the northern monuments. It is a slow and awkward ride. The tuk tuks are not made for Europeans and the ceilings are low, the side bench seats narrow and you have to watch your head getting in and our of the vehicle and can miss your footing on the small and narrow step. More than three people in the tuk tuk and you have no where to put your legs!
Where the main park has some flowering plants, the other sites do not, and are very dry and dusty.
Getting to Sukhothai from Bangkok was done via Bangkok Airways and a van transfer 300B per person from the tiny airport. The return journey on to Chiangmai was via Wintour (see separate review) buses.
翻译:如果您对泰国的历史感兴趣,这个公园是必去的地方。如果您去过大城府,那么您也一定要去素可泰府。它早于大城府,具有重要的历史意义。虽然已经进行了很多重建,但主公园还是很有趣的。公园分为三个区域,每个区域都有自己的票务。大多数人只去主公园,因为它是最容易到达的。
最好住在旧素可泰的住宿,因为这样只需步行即可到达公园,或者您可以租一辆自行车或越野车游览。天气很热,在公园里散步很困难,尤其是上午 9 点之后。
我们住在历史咖啡馆,这是一栋古老的木屋,由一位令人愉快的老人经营,但它不适合我们,因为它有陡峭的台阶,而且浴室设施不足。它会适合年轻人。不过周围还有更贵、更合适的住宿。
除非您有自己的交通工具,否则住在新素可泰会因为长途旅行和额外费用而变得乏味。
在老素可泰,您可以步行或骑自行车前往公园,然后从公园外的三个地点之一租一辆电动车,每小时 200 泰铢(从一开始租用两个小时)。公园还安排嘟嘟车和可爱的四轮车(不适合大人)。后者比更舒适、更大的婴儿车更软,而且更贵。您将获得一张层压地图(比随票提供的纸质地图更好)。婴儿车上有一个地方可以放饮料,您可以将行李放在婴儿车上(在繁忙的日子里,后果自负)。
从售票处购买的门票为每人100B(附薄纸地图),并在大门和公园内的其他地点检票。公园内有厕所和饮料点。
您将在宫殿建筑群中度过第一个小时的大部分时间,因此一开始就需要租用 1 个小时以上。如果您仅租用 1 小时,且回程时的下一小时超过 10 分钟,则需按下一整小时付费。
这些路径很容易行驶,您可以将车停在每个站点外,然后步行前往该站点。请记住,您必须遵守告诉您不要攀爬纪念碑的标志。
一些遗址上有重建工作的照片记录。不是恢复而是重建。
您必须骑自行车或租用单独的交通工具(嘟嘟车(每小时 300B))才能看到北部古迹。这是一次缓慢而尴尬的旅程。嘟嘟车不是为欧洲人设计的,天花板很低,旁边的长凳座位很窄,你必须小心地把头伸进车里,否则可能会在又小又窄的台阶上失足。嘟嘟车里超过三个人,你的腿就没有地方放了!
主公园有一些开花植物,而其他地方则没有,而且非常干燥且多尘。
从曼谷到素可泰是通过曼谷航空,从这个小机场乘坐面包车接送,每人 300 泰铢。回程是乘坐 Wintour(参见单独的评论)巴士返回清迈。
