Can someone please recommend a good hotel in Sukothai city to stay in.

The Pailyn is fairly good. 1200 Baht per night. Bookable through Sawadee, or direct Tel: 055 613-3105

My wife and I have stayed there 3 or 4 times.

We also had a look at the Pordee Hotel which looks good. 600 baht per night. Tel 055 6510414. www.pordeehotel.com (In Thai)

We looked in the wooden bungalows and they were well equiped. Aircon, tv, fridge, good size shower room.

Just read that you want a city hotel.

The Pailyn is 5 or 6 mins from the old city by motorbike. Pordee is about the same.

Yes, The Pordee Hotel is not Bad, but the Bathroom was not very clean, but ok for 600 Baht. We was in September there.

new and clean is the sukhothai tewson resort. Tel.818886378 Night 950 Baht incl.Breakfast, Airport Transfer 200 baht.

My wife and I were shown the wooden bungalows at the rear in September, and the interiorlooked immaculate. I understand that they were only recently completed.

We were not shown the rooms at the entrance to the Pordee, which do look conciderably older.

If it's not too inconvenient for you transportation wise, Phitsanulok is a good alternative. Topland Hotel is great (much better than Pailin, IMO, and cheaper) and has an excellent dinner buffet .. it's part of Topland plaza (shopping) and across the main road from Wat Yai .. which has one of the most beautiful Buddha images in Thailand .

P'lok is about 60 km, but if you have transportation it's not so bad.

I also strongly recommend the historical park at Khampaengphet. For me, it has an ambiance that Sukhothai has lost with all the tour buses and commercialism.
