| [ soo-ko-tai ] Meaning ‘Dawn of Happiness,’ is a word that stirs the imagination of the Thai people. Another meaning could be ‘Dawn of the Kingdom of Thailand,’ as Sukhothai was the first free Thai city, founded in 1238 A.D., after two Thai chieftans liberated the city from Khmer rule. Sukhothai thus became the seat of the first Siamese Kingdom, and the centerpoint of an era of material prosperity, artistic greatness, and cultural development known today at the ‘Golden Age’ of Thai history. |
