The BAANLYY Area Score rates all 3 Sukhothai living options on a transparent 100-point scale, built from eight lived-experience factors. One number to compare at a glance — then dig into the detail that matters for a UNESCO heritage-town base.
How it's scored: each area is rated 1–10 on eight factors — value, infrastructure & services, culture & heritage, quiet, airport access, rental depth, walkability and rurality — and the BAANLYY Area Score is their average on a 0–100 scale. Sukhothai has no rental index or per-area rent figures of its own (see the where-to-live guide), so these scores are deliberately conservative and directional rather than precise. It's a transparent comparison starting point, not investment advice — weight the factors that matter to you.
| # | Area | Score | Value | Infrastructure & services | Culture & heritage | Quiet | Rurality |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | New Sukhothai town The modern centre — Mueang Sukhothai district, riverside, closest to the airport | 60 | 7 | 10 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
| 2 | Old Sukhothai village Steps from the ruins — quiet, guesthouse-oriented, tourism-first | 54 | 5 | 2 | 10 | 8 | 4 |
| 3 | Si Satchanalai & Sawankhalok The quiet north — second historical park, centuries-old Sangkhalok ceramic tradition | 53 | 6 | 1 | 9 | 10 | 10 |
