Thailand: Khmer-style towers at Wat Si Sawai, Sukhothai Historical Park

Wat Si Sawai was founded in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and was probably originally a Hindu shrine.

Sukhothai, which literally means 'Dawn of Happiness', was the capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom and was founded in 1238. It was the capital of the Thai Empire for approximately 140 years.
