After breakfast at the hotel, embark on a fun workshop to make your own clay Buddha amulet at Baan Phra Phim, a learning center dedicated to the amulets of Buddha from ancient times. Meet the local expert, Mr. Kob, who will guide you through the simple making process and share interesting stories about the center and the Buddhas. Then, visit the museum, where you can enjoy fun activities from the past, such as shooting an arrow and making fire from a feldspar. The workshop takes approximately 1.5 hours.

Following the workshop, head north from Sukhothai to the district of Si Satchanalai. Visit the local community of Ban Na Thon Chan, the 2012 PATA Gold Award–winning project in the Heritage and Culture category. Established over 200 years ago, Ban Na Thon Chan is a community-based tourism initiative that balances natural and cultural heritage for visitors. Most villagers are descendants of the ancient Lanna Kingdom, and daily life revolves around traditional tasks and customs, while preserving their local heritage.

Arrive at the village just in time for a traditional Sukhothai lunch. Afterward, travel around the village like the locals in a traditional mode of transport called an e-tan. Explore the village, stopping at several houses where different crafts are practiced, such as furniture making, wooden doll carving, and traditional dessert preparation. Then, take a walk through the lush green rice paddies and enjoy the natural scenery.
