50 km north of Sukhothai are the ruins of the ancient city of Si Satchanalai, founded in 1250 and residence of the crown prince during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
The archaeological Park of Si Satchanalai is in the middle of nowhere. It is not as well preserved as Sukhothai, neither is there facilities for tourists or access facilities. Instead of that, it is a lot quieter and surrounded by nature.

We asked in our hostel how to get there and they replied us, that by public transport impossible, we should take a taxi or rent a motorbike... But it was as simple as going to the bus station ask it three times and we were sitting on a bus with air conditioning, that took us approximately 4 km from the archaeological park. This is not a problem, at the same bus stop, there is a bike rental shop and they give you also a map.
The day we were there, there was an event, commemorating the site, with hand made stuff and food. So little by little more and more people from the nearby villages where coming to the site.
