While Sukhothai is famous, Si Satchanalai is often forgotten. That seems to be a mistake, the temples and nature of Si Satchanalai park are very worth the trip.
Si Satchanalai had its heyday in the same period as Sukhothai, but was largely forgotten after Ayutthaya rose to prominence in the 14th century. Apparently it never recovered from this oblivion, since it draws much less visitors than Sukhothai. But, as the locals say, both Sukhtohai and Si Satchanalai are beautiful women, only the former is dressed up. I decided to visit the naked woman before the dressed one. Even before entering the park, I saw an elephant walking and followed it on my bike. I was just in time to seeing it washed in the river Yom running just outside the complex.
