What to do in Sukhothai when it rains
The weather needn't spoil Sukhothai. Its galleries, museums and indoor markets are at their best on a grey day, with cafés on every corner.
Museums
Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.
Art galleries
Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.
Historic sites
Explore the indoor historic sites and their covered galleries.
Covered markets
Browse the covered market — street-food stalls, local makers and somewhere dry to graze for an hour.
Cafés
Claim a window seat in a cosy café and watch the rain instead of walking in it.
