Sukhothai travel photo copyrighted by: Alan Ingram Although Sukhothai was Thailand's fist capital, it only lasted a little over 100 years from its foundation in 1257 before being superseded by Ayuthaya in 1379. But if its period of glory was short, its achievements in art, literature, language and law, apart from the more visible evidence of great buildings, was enormous. In general, the ruins visible today at Sukhothai and other cities of the kingdom, like
Kamphaeng Phet and Si Satchanalai, are more appealing than Ayuthaya because they are less urbanised and further off the beaten track.
