Sawankhalok, Administrative district in Sukhothai, Thailand.
Sawankhalok is an administrative district in Sukhothai Province in northern Thailand. It comprises several sub-districts with rural villages, farmland, and areas where pottery production remains active.
This area became a pottery-making center starting in the 14th century and held provincial status until 1932. It was merged into Sukhothai Province and renamed in 1939.
Sangkhalok pottery shaped the identity of this area for centuries and remains visible in local workshops and family businesses. Visitors can still see craftspeople at work, continuing traditions passed down through generations.
The district is best explored by traveling local roads, as pottery workshops and farms are spread across different villages. Plan time to visit multiple locations and arrange your own transportation.
A museum houses a major collection of ceramic pieces spanning several centuries, showing the craftsmanship heritage of the region. These objects reveal how potters here developed their skills over a long period.
