With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Sukhothai, 40 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Wat Sri Chum, King Ramkhamhaeng Monument and Wat Sra Sri. Phitsanulok is another terrific option. It’s 45 miles away and offers an array of intriguing things to do. Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahatat Woramahawihan, Wat Chulamani and Wat Nang Phaya are just the start.
