Sukhothai Heritage Resort
Stupa-shaped rooflines rising from organic rice paddies near Sukhothai's ruins
About the Property
A boutique resort set among organic rice paddies on the outskirts of Sukhothai, its architecture paying direct homage to the 13th-century Buddhist kingdom whose ruins lie minutes away. Stupa-shaped rooflines, laterite stone detailing and terracotta-tiled pavilions echo the proportions of Sukhothai Historical Park — a UNESCO World Heritage site whose graceful monuments defined the classical vocabulary of Thai art and architecture.
