Sukhotai is 400km north of Bangkok. The Sukhotai Kingdom – founded in 1238 – was Thailand's first unified state and was strictly Buddhist. The Royal temple of Wat Mahathat is the largest – 10 metre high pillars are lined up around an image of Buddha. Walking Buddhas adorn the base of the central prang where the Buddha's ashes are said to have been stored. The carvings depict Buddha descending from the heavens and coming into contact with ordinary people, a form that appears in no other Buddhist monument.
