Fodor's Expert Review Sukhothai Heritage Resort

Swank is the word for this luxury resort at just about the midpoint between the historical parks in Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai. Rooms are in low-rise buildings whose exterior design flirts with the past but skews heavily contemporary. Soft lighting, rich surfaces, and gold and crimson accents add up to a romantic atmosphere in the accommodations, which include six spacious suites equipped with Jacuzzis. The room rate includes a superlative breakfast that will fuel you for a trip to the historical parks—unless the large pool, serene gardens, and countryside setting entice you to linger.
