Sukhothai

Peaceful, tranqil, good for the soul, rent a bicycle (you’re not allowed motorbikes in the park), and cycle around the old monuments and temples, bliss. Then head north again on the train. Take a torch. Trying to remove contact lenses in the evening, or put them in at night in a 40 watt light was not fun. The hostels I stayed at seemed to have the dimmest electric lighting I’ve ever seen.

This place is a must for those interested in history and culture.

Ayutthaya and Sukothai were definitely the high points of our trip to Thailand….
