[2025 Sukhothai Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Saphan Hin (Updated Jun)

Don't know where to go during the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday? Recommend Sukhothai, which is full of historical atmosphere The entire Sukhothai Historical Park is mainly divided into three areas, North, Central and West The entrance fee for each area is 100 baht (No entrance fee is required for Wat Saphan Hin) Take the night bus from Bangkok to Sukhothai at night The journey takes about 8 hours, including supper time and rest time Thailand's long-distance buses are very considerate and will give out bottled water and snacks And you will be given 20 minutes to eat in the middle of the journey, and you can eat for free with your ticket I arrived at Sukhothai Bus Station at 4 o'clock in the morning, and I chose to stay in the new city area Many people choose to get off in the old city area, which is the historical park area But I know I will rent a motorcycle, so I want to avoid the tourist area as much as possible (I'm really not Bar social type😅) 📌Recommend staying in a hotel opposite the bus station. I stayed there for four nights. A double room for one person costs about $400 baht per night. You can also rent a motorcycle directly at the hotel. There are discounts for renting for multiple days✌🏾 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Wat Saphan Hin in Sukhothai is located on a small hill in the western part of Sukhothai Historical Park " "Saphan Hin" means "stone bridge", and the stone road leading to the temple is one of its features You can overlook the Sukhothai plain from the temple, and the scenery is magnificent It is especially suitable for visiting in the early morning or at sunset The temple was built during the Sukhothai Dynasty and is an important Buddhist practice and prayer place It has profound historical and cultural value ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #Thailand #Sukhothai #Saphan Hin Temple #Sunrise #Travel #Good place for Dragon Boat Festival

#Thailand Attractions I really have to take advantage of my youth to go to Sukhothai. It's quite hard. To be comfortable can concentrate on the central and northern areas. But if you want less people to take pictures, you should go to the Western District, where it is also suitable for watching the sunrise. It is recommended to rent a tuk tuk to the Western District, but the first attraction is called Wat Saphan Hinวัดสะพานหิน (Thai: Saphan Jieqiao, Hin is stone), which contains a twelve-meter-high standing Buddha statue. The great responsibility given by heaven to this man needs to sharpen his will and work his muscles and bones....... Please step on the ladder to heaven. Because to climb the rocks up, a total of 200 meters, no handrails. Thank you for the nice weather and have breakfast.

Shapansin Temple, located on the hill west of the ancient city, the name of the temple means stone bridge. The temple has now become a ruin. It is located at the top of the hill to the west of the ancient city. There are some remaining pillars and statues of the temple. Here you can overlook the ancient city of Sukhothai, and it is also a good place to watch the sunrise. The Buddha faces the east and wakes up with the sun. If you are going to watch the sunrise here, you need to get up early, it is best to bring a flashlight, the road up the mountain is not very flat.

Among the many remains of Sukhothai, the well-preserved Shafan Hin Temple is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent works of art. There are beautiful statues of Buddha preserved here, surrounded by many ancient historical sites. The trails up the mountain are like a historical tunnel, bringing people from the modern life to the simple Sukhtec architectural miracle. Shafan Hin Temple sits on a hill about 200 meters high west of the ancient city of Sukhothai. There is a 12-meter-high huge standing Buddha statue, beautiful in appearance, kindly and peaceful, gazing at the ancient city of Sukhothai, which combines history and art, and guards the devout men and women in this city. is located in the suburbs of Sukhothai City, and there is also a famous Pula Pai Dragon Temple. The temple is somewhat similar to the style of the Sishawa Temple, situated in a green surrounded field. Today's Pailong Temple brings endless sorrow and sadness, because it is quiet and lonely because it is far away from other temples. The interior of the temple was destroyed by the war. The Buddha statues used by the temples were cut off at the first level, leaving only the ruined pagodas and the incomplete statues of Buddha. It is very heartbreaking. Into the temple, there is no other tourist to disturb, so quietly watching the ruins of the temple, it is regrettable that the original exquisite carving on the pagoda has now become blurred, the Buddha statue distributed in the temple, almost All lost their heads, leaving only the broken body. Come here, although you can enjoy the limited attractions, you can quietly face the destroyed Buddha statues alone, repent, pray, tell, or do nothing.
