N. Thailand

We went on bus from Bangkok to Phisanulok, Sukhothai, and Chiangmai and took the train from Chiangmai back to Bangkok.

My most favorite place so far that I've been to since I've gotten here. It was the only place where I didn't feel rushed, didn't get hassled and I got to relax and truely enjoy what I was seeing.
