A cycling trip with LocalRoutes: between echoes of the past and flavors of today.
Silence feels deeper, and the pace slows down. In Sukhothai, you're not just cycling through a city, you're riding through one of the beating hearts of Thailand's rich history.
Discover Sukhothai, the Birthplace of a Kingdom🏛️
What makes our cycling tours in Thailand so special, is the intimate connection that the bicycle creates between the traveler and the land. We ride gently through the ruins of the UNESCO World heritage Site of Sukhothai Historical Park.
From the 13th and the 15th century, this city flourished: it was here that the Thai alphabet was born and that Thai art and architecture began to shine. The temples of Wat Mahathat and Wat Si Chum, both majestic and silent, remind us that this city helped shape the soul of the nation.
The site is vast but peaceful, and our route is designed to balance discovery, contemplation and human connection.
A unique atmosphere at sunrise and sunset🌅
Cycling in Sukhothai is breathtaking both in the early morning and as the day ends. At sunrise, the Buddha statues glow with golden light, shadows dance across the stones, and it feels as though the site belongs only to us.
At sunset, the lotus ponds turn to shades of pink and purple and a deep clam settles over the land.
What Sukhothai means to LocalRoutes😊
At LocalRoutes, our time in Sukhothai is a true favorite. Many of our travelers tell us that this day becomes one of the most unforgettable parts of their trip. It's a poetic interlude, a step into history and a breath of authenticity.
But... We mostly pride ourselves because we visit it and the surrounding region differently. We don't just come and spend a day here, we take the time to see past the temples and visit people and traditions that are still well alive today.
Ready to experience it? 🌟
Join us for an unforgettable cycling tour in Thailand and let yourself be carried away by the magic of Sukhothai.
