How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Indy travels to Siam and explores a flooded, jungle-covered Sukhothai, with ruined temples including Wat Mahathat, Wat Si Sawai and Wat Sa Si.
The real place
Sukhothai was the capital of the first Thai kingdom in the 13th and 14th centuries. Its ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with Wat Mahathat at the centre. The game wraps them in far more jungle than the tidy park has today.
Visiting
Rent a bicycle at the park entrance, as the central zone is flat and compact. Sunrise is the best time, and the Loy Krathong festival lights up the ruins in November.
