Tr Guesthouse Sukhothai

... und Service alles bisherige uebertraf wirklich.
Die Stadt war aufgrund der starken Regenfaelle in letzter Zeit leicht ueberflutet und man konnte nicht auf jeder Strasse gehen ohne nasse Fuesse zu bekommen, Die alte Stadt besichtigten wir dann mit einem Fahrrad. Wir genossen wirklich die friedliche, ruhige Atmosphere in dem Park mit den zahlreichen Tempeln.

- 2 h de bus sur le bus ordinaire (pas d'air conditionne)
On adore, c'est le mode de transport des locaux ici, est c'est tellement sympa , des que j'ai l'occasion j'aide les gens a embarquer leur enormes paniers que les femmes Thai emmene sur leur epaules jusqu'au marche.

- Sukhothai etait la 1ere capitale de la Thailande autour du 13eme siecle pour 200 ans avant que Ayutthaya prenne la suite...

... original Buddha images provided a pinch of history to my Siam melting pot. And a pinch was all I needed......

During my first week in Thailand I have discovered that it is a case ot "seen one, seen them all" and as uncultured as it may sound, by now I had had enough temples, ruins and golden Stupas. What can I say, I'm a simple girl at heart, there's no use pretending it's all about the culture. I had to admit to myself all I wanted was a beach ...

... with more fares. ‘Just five minutes’ he told us confidently. Unfortunately the system works against this. The school kids know that the bus won’t go until it is full, and anyway there is a line of buses waiting. As a result they mill around jumping on and off buses, devouring vast quantities of food and drink from the roadside stalls that set up all around the school entrance. The protestations of the bus drivers have little impact; only the couple ...

... annoys me when people ***** about prices to see national treasures in 3rd world countries. What would you pay to enter the Louvre? Or the Coliseum? Why don't people ***** about THAT? 100 baht is about 2 euro, if that is expensive for you and you're going to give the poor ticketing agent a hard time about it then you should just stay home! Yes, it's true that Thai nationals pay much less to enter, as do Cambodians for Ankor and Indians for the Taj but they ...

... truck headlights for light, you can even see the hormones seeping from his cheek. The next morning, I had a lovely ride up to the grazing meadow on Pang Tong. Pang Tong was so excited when she spotted Pang Noi and Star already playing ahead of her, that she took off in a run. It was a good thing that "At," Pang Tong's mahout was riding with me. With his strong hands on my waist, I wasn't frightened at all. At BLES, I stayed in one of the two lovely guest bungalows. I am a ...

... It was uncrowded! There were no souvenir hawkers assaulting the visitors, but there were stands with water and fruit available. Once when we needed something to drink badly, after pedaling in from a more remote area, some Thai people insisted that we take Pepsi's from them and they would not accept any money. There were a few tour buses and vans around, but we didn't come into contact with any crowds of people. There was a Thai Samarai film being made at ...

... a cafe in Bristol, 'phone the local Thai Takeaway', said Dave! While looking for food last night we happened across a stall of the weirdest food yet. Fried caterpillars, chicken cheeks (but which end?), chicken feet, water bugs (that looked like giant cockroaches) and a variety of things that wouldn't have looked out of place on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Outta Here. We decided to pass on all of them and go for the ...

... Sukhothai being a part of the Khmer empire (the same empire that built Angkor). The one thing about Sukhothai that i liked better was the low number of tourists there, Angkor is absolutely packed with tourists all the time, which can take away from the experience. Although I should say that the Angkor ruins are far grander in scale and more elaborate as well; i recommend both Angkor and Sukhothai to anyone.

The first temple we visited ...

The next two days were spent wandering around the ruins of Sukhothai. Sukhothai is another former Thai capital turned UNESCO site with loads of ruins all around the city. The style of the temples is different from those at Ayutthaya, but within Sukhothai there is a lot of sameness. We spent the first day looking at all the temples in the inner part of the ...
