Travel with Understanding in a Changing Climate
While climate change is reshaping landscapes and seasons around the world, Sukhothai remains a timeless beauty — a cradle of Siamese civilization where ancient wisdom meets living heritage. The region continues to welcome visitors, with the hope that every journey brings a deeper appreciation for the natural rhythms and climate realities that shape our world.
Like many heritage destinations, Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai, and Kamphaeng Phet are increasingly affected by droughts, seasonal flooding, and fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5). Yet with thoughtful awareness and adaptive travel practices, both locals and visitors can help these ancient cities thrive in the face of a changing environment.
Drought
In some years, the dry season brings severe heat and water scarcity, impacting ponds and moats within the historic parks.
→ Travelers are encouraged to use water responsibly, support eco-conscious businesses, and choose activities that respect local ecosystems and community resources.
PM2.5 Air Pollution
During the cool season, air quality can occasionally dip below recommended standards due to stagnant atmospheric conditions.
→ 1669 Emergency Medical Service If traveling during high PM2.5 periods, wear a protective mask outdoors, adjust outdoor activities accordingly, and take care of your health.
→ Check real-time air quality updates from local authorities, such as the Old City Subdistrict Municipality’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/share/1V9rjKSoxU/
Flooding Reports
While some districts in Sukhothai may experience seasonal flooding, the Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai Historical Parks are never affected, thanks to their elevated terrain and well-managed drainage systems. Unfortunately, widespread media coverage of floods elsewhere sometimes leads to confusion and unnecessary trip cancellations.
→ Rather than avoiding travel, seek out accurate local information from official channels and tourism operators before making decisions.
Today, meaningful travel is no longer just about capturing the perfect photo.
It’s about engaging with the places we visit — with knowledge, empathy, and a willingness to respect a world in flux, along with the communities who call it home.
