Take a tour of Ruins of Sukhothai in Sukhothai, Thailand – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. The ruins of Sukhothai, Thailand's first independent capital, display the remains of the location where many of the Thai customs were first created. The 70 square kilometer area contains an abundance of Buddhist and Hindu ruins of temples and monuments. The ancient city was established in the 13th century, marking the peak of the Thai kingdom and its culture. The town is separated into two parts, the ruins which make up the National Park, and the modern town of the same name in which its citizens dwell. Icons scattered throughout the decayed temples, such as this seated Buddha, can be as tall as eleven meters. The art and architecture of Sukhothai's 193 ruins represent classical Thai style. The best mode of transportation to ruins is either cycling or walking since the roads have patches of shrubbery.

Take a tour of Myra Ruins in Turkey – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. The Myra ruins reside in Turkey on the coast of the Mediterranean, near a town that is now known as Demre. Myra was once a leading city in a collection of ancient Turkish cities known as Lycia. The ruins here are renowned for the rock-cut tombs and carved amphitheater. The two sets of tombs are named river-necropolis and ocean-necropolis.

St. Nicholas of Myra, whose striking church is located amidst the ruins, is said to be one of the original inspirations for Santa Claus.

Take a tour of Ruins of Carthage in Carthage, Tunisia – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. The ruins of the ancient city of Carthage look out over the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Tunis in Tunisia. Carthage is said to have been founded in 814 BC by Phoenician Queen Dido and flourished into a prominent port city. The city then entered into a turbulent relationship with the Romans when the Punic Wars broke out. Carthage was utterly demolished by the Roman Empire during the Third Punic War and then revived as a Roman city shortly after. Because the Romans burned the town during the war, knowledge of Carthaginian culture is limited. Ruins that can be seen today are primarily Roman, including the Roman amphitheater and the Antonine Baths. Visitors enter Carthage by passing through the ruins of an ancient wall spanning twenty three miles around the city.

Take a tour of Chan Chan Ruins in Peru – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Chan Chan was the once vast capital of the industrious and innovative Chimu Empire. Dating back to the 1st century, the Chimu Empire stood strong until the mid 15th century when they were conquered by the Incas. Unfortunately, most of this capital city has been destroyed by both man and nature over time. The most well preserved structure of Chan Chan is the Tschudi Palace which housed the Chimu Empire's nobles. The exquisite craftsmanship that went into these adobe structures is a testament to its once thriving population. From certain vantage points, one can see the miles of ruins that stretch out over the Peruvian plain.
