Si Satchanalal Historical Park-Sukhothai

I am not going to say, “if you have seen one historical park you have seen them all”. But Ayuthaya and other cities have similar ruins influenced by Khmer and Hindu architecture and themes. These photos will give you a good idea of what the old temples used to look like when the current inhabitants of Thailand say, “others occupied this land”. Hard to tell if that is true since people usually mix and don’t tend to run away in mass hundreds of years later when attacked (some exceptions, of course).
