Thailand has a long history that can be traced back to the 13th century. The first kingdom of Thailand was Sukhothai, which was established by King Si Indrathit in AD 1238. Sukhothai, presently a province in the north of Thailand located 427 km from Bangkok, was a great empire whose archaeological remains can still be seen today. Although it is not as popular as Ayutthaya, the province features two world-renowned historical parks which are among the most famous historical attractions in Thailand. They are Sukhothai Historical Park and Si Satchanalai Historical Park.
