So Long Sukothai

For a change, Paul is at the helm on the blog...so listen up!

It seems as soon as we were in Sukothai we were leaving Sukothai. Although we only ended up staying for two days, we really enjoyed ourselves at this quiet little town. We took an extremely early bus out of Ayutthaya (40 minutes late on Thai time) and headed for Sukothai. We arrived at our guesthouse which was a set of charming bungalows set in and around a beautiful garden. The staff were extremely friendly, and we had some of the best food yet. Our favourite by far was sweet and sour Tofu mixed with mango and pineapple, tomatoes, and onions on rice...excuse me while I drool on the keyboard.

Sukothai, much like Ayutthaya is a city full of old ruins and temples. The "Old City" boasts the main attractions, and we were able to see all the sights in one day thanks to a handy little bicycle rental shop just outside the park. One bike, 20 baht (about 66 cents). These Marry Poppins style bikes were quite enjoyable as we cruised in and out of ancient ruins.

Along the way we met a nice Dutch couple that we staying at the same guest house as us. We had dinner with them, and decided to do some traveling together aswell. The next morning the four of us hopped a bus to Chiang Mai, which is where I am writing from right now.

Stay tuned for more tales from Chiang Mai. We are looking into some 2-3 day treks that take us into the villages of the Hill Tribes, and include Elephant rides, and bamboo river rafting.

Gotta go...expensive internet.
