As you will probably be coming from Sukhothai, that’s also where you’re going to want to find a hotel.
Sukhothai is divided into two sections: Old Sukhothai, where the ruins are located, and New Sukhothai. The main bus station is located in New Sukhothai, but still some distance from the city center itself.
If you want to explore Sukhothai in addition to day trips to Kamphaeng Phet, Si Satchanalai or Phitsanulok, I’d recommend staying right across the street from the bus station.
By staying at a hotel called Ruengsri Siri Guest House, not only would you have easy access to day trips, but this is also where the daily shuttle songthaew to the ruins originates. Even if I was stuck with the same couple of restaurants throughout my stay, I was really glad to be so close to the station. It was also convenient to buy an advance ticket to Chiang Mai and board the bus first thing in the morning.
