When I headed out of Bangkok a couple of weeks ago I was sure that Sukhothai would be the highlight of my little trip to some of the most important historic towns in lower northern Thailand. But I wanted to figure it out by myself and here we go. After sunset and a few glasses of local Sang Som whiskey with some local guys on the side of the road in front of my hotel I took a cool shower and went out again, starting to walk around and figuring out what New Sukhothai has to offer after sunset.
Most of the streets were dead empty and offered views of just some usual small town out in the province, like here at the clock tower:. As I reached the market I did see a lot more people and quite a few cool street restaurants that served beer as well, but nothing really exciting for single guys like me.
And somehow more Farang girls sitting together in those eateries than Thai girls. There was one bar called Fong Bear just m down the street from the night market:.
The main local nightlife area in Sukhothai with about 10 different indoor and outdoor bars is on Soi Pracha Ruamjai. Club 64 , Route 23 and In Black seem to be the most popular night clubs here.
The place is pretty cool, has live music every night, decent food, fruit cocktails and the usual bar beverages, sees more Farangs than Thais though the waiters and waitresses are pretty nice, kind and talkative. So I walked up there to check it out.
