From Bangkok, we went to Sukhothai, for about 200 Baths / person. Once in Sukhothai, supposedly the cheapest accommodation was next to the bus station, but it was all full. Walking down the road we found a guesthouse where we stayed for 150 Baths / night, it was correct.

Sukhothai is a small local town, with its market, its food stalls on the street and a large night market with all kinds of food. There are very few tourists, which makes the local people more friendly and relaxed. Although nothing special, we found it pleasant after the mass tourism of the south and the madness of Bangkok.

The biggest tourist attraction in Sukhothai is its historical park, a world heritage site by Unesco. It is 12 km away, so we rented a motorbike for 150 Baths. The entrance to the historic park is 100 Baths / person. At first it does not seem like much, but as you get closer and walk you can breathe the magic of Thai history. It is about the archaeological remains of the kingdom of Sukhothai from the XIII – XIV century, considered the time of the beginning of the nation of Thailand, together with Ayutthaya, one of the Thai capitals of the time. A set of chides, temples and budha statues. So after the visit to the market we rented a motorcycle and there we went!

Going through its different points you lose yourself in the antiquity of its stones, in the solemnity of its temples, a place where you can get lost for a while.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon during a little walk before our expected dinner at the night market, a nice monge inside the city’s temple grabbed our attention, or rather absorbed us. He made a long tour of the entire temple, explaining all the reforms carried out and proudly showing the gardens and estaancias, then insisted on posing with us to take photographs. That if we went perfectly, where and how to pose, Pedro Almodóvar style … with your finger indicated … you there, put yourself like that, from that angle … hahaha … a crack!

From Sukhothai we went to Chiang Mai by bus, it cost us about 250 Baths, so … there we go !!!!
