Sukhothai is a great place to visit if you’re into history. Once the capital of Thailand’s first kingdom, the area is now filled with open parks and ancient ruins that let you step back in time more than 700 years. Walking around Sukhothai Historical Park, you can see old temples, simple stone carvings, and Buddha statues that have lasted centuries. It’s a great place to slow down, learn a bit about the past, and enjoy a quiet day exploring history.

Hello, I’d like to start a series of posts about my travels around Thailand. Over the last three years, I’ve been back and forth quite a bit to visit my (now) wife’s family and friends, and during that time, I’ve gotten to see a surprising amount of the country.

One fun fact: I actually got married in Thailand at the end of 2024. Coordinating a wedding abroad was a challenge, but it turned out to be an unforgettable experience—plus, it gave me the perfect reason to keep exploring all the different sides of Thailand.

I’ve spent time in all sorts of places, from lively city centers to quiet temples and scenic coastlines. Each region has its own vibe, culture, and must-see spots. I’ve included a few photos here to give you a quick taste of what Thailand has to offer, and I’ll share more (along with travel tips and stories) when I delve into each location in future posts.

Feel free to jump in with your own stories, tips, or favorite memories from Thailand. I’d love to hear about your experiences, too!
