We used our favourite Ayutthaya tuk-tuk to get to the bus station to catch the bus to Sukothai. We were somewhat bemused to find that the bus station was not a proper terminal but consisted of a couple of rows of dusty seats under a shelter beside a dual carriageway (that local people using cars, bikes and motos frequently and without any fear o...

We kinda acted like walrus today, laying around in the air conditioning all day. I think I help with the heat exhaustion from the day before. We finally rolled out of bed around 5:30 (that's pm) and we decided to go back to the Sukhothai National Park and see if we could get some sundown pictures and there was to be a show and fireworks. We deci...

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 p...

Ouaiiiis j'ai reussi a parler en thai avec une vendeuse au marche ce matin, et sans utiliser de gestes pour une fois !!!! Je suis trop fiere... Bien que mon repertoire se limite aux nombres (jusqu'a 999, quand meme!), bonjour, merci, s'il-vous-plait, c'est combien et *****. Bref, retournons au voyage... Apres un reveil tres matinal, peut-etre du...

Beyond a doubt, Loy Krathong is Thailand's most beautiful festival. Thais and foreigners alike are taught that Loy Krathong originated something like 700 years ago in the northern province of Sukhothai. We are also meant to believe that the person who discovered this tradition was a King's consort named Nang Noppamas; that she was the first pers...

We left early to spend the day exploring Sukhothai on bikes. Definitely a highlight of our time in Thailand, The Sukhothai kingdom was an early kingdom which existed from 1238 to 1438. Today the historical park which we cycled around, is full of wats, temples and very impressive relics - a very similar feel to the Angkor complex, perhaps best to...

I swear I'll make an actual typed blog soon, just don't have the time right now.

Salut tout le monde, Romain (ou Pimboula pour les intimes) a fait un commentaire judicieux sur le fait que travelpod exige de s'inscrire pour pouvoir poster un commentaire (pas cool !). Donc pour vous faciliter la vie, j'ai cree un compte que vous pouvez tous utiliser pour ca. Les infos de connexion sont les suivantes: Nom d'utilisateur: muetfre...

The Ramkhamhaeng Museum proves a perfect introduction to the wealth of wats within the historical park. Sukhothai art shifted away from Khmer (Cambodian) and Hindu influences to create its own style. This is most evident in its portrayal of Buddha, as a walking figure, subtly tilted and slightly effete. The slender, bronze, 14th-century, Hindu d...

Before the Thai Capital of Ayutthaya came the Thai Kingdom Of Sukhothai. This place was really tops to spend a day at. The sun was fierce but there was enough shade as we got back onto bicycles to ride around the complex. Lots of Buddhas here and unlike Ayutthaya they all had their heads intact.
