Sukhothai - things to do?

[Neeranam]

Thinking of opening a seafood restaurant in Sukothai. 

Are there decent golf courses there?

Many farang?

Is it easy to get to Chiang Mai/Bangkok?

Actually, if it is not in Central Thailand, maybe someone could move it to the Northern region, of there is one.

The restaurant industry in New Sukhothai and Old Sukhothai is not doing very well, especially morning and daytime.

 

Basically it's taking a good while for things to pick up since Covid.

 

You get old odd days when tourists turn up and at evening they be busyand the next day it's dead.

 

The night club area music restaurant type does reasonably well with Thai locals and visiting Thais and some get very busy on occasions.

The popular ones are offering snack type food along with drinks.

 

I suggest you do a trip and visit and investigate the place before seriously make a more.

There is a small airport outside of the city if that is what you mean by easy... it is probably a 4.5 hour drive to CM and maybe 6 hours to Bkk -

Sukhothai administration officials may object to moving North.

The anchant ruins in Sukhothai are worth a visit.

Sukhothai province is quite large and labelled as central Thailand but goes up to Phrae province past 2 provinces that are classed as upper North.

Without long stops driving within limits from Sukhothai to Outskirts of Bkk can be done 4. 1/2 hours.

 

CM can be done from Sukhothai in 3 hours.

Non stop I did it on my bike in 2. 1/4 hours.

I think we need a good steakhouse in Sukhothai!  I'm yet to find a decent Eye Fillet or T-bone in this town cooked for me at a restaurant. Plenty of seafood eateries around plus the seafood in the normal Thai eateries. 

Muang Kaow is more touristy (by day) than downtown. 

Explore there first!

There's a steak house outside New Sukhothai town on the 101 called Steak 500.

Not sure of a steakhouse in New Sukhothai, pork steaks there are a few places one it the Lee Tree.

 

Waste of time Old City Sukhothai = Muang Kao, I live there, there's more shut restaurants than open ones all dead by 10 o/c.

 

New Sukhothai many places open till 12 o/c off a road near Toyota at the traffic light cross roads going out of New Sukhothai centre.

I stayed 2 nights with my niece, apart from the wonderful park which is worth a good visit, there was nothing to do, and very little choice in restaurants. Very quiet everywhere, even in the Historical park which was practically empty, this was a weekday before Covid.

I'm a vegetarian, so that won't be happening!

If you open a burger King  you'll be on a winner or a Indian.

That's what this city needs,it's not a town by the way.

That’s why I cannot understand why Uttaradit is in the central Thailand forums.
