From Phitsanulok we went on a day trip to Sukothai. Last night we had dinner at the markets with Leoni from the NEtherlands. The wontons were awesome. Corb said that the spicy squid salad was very spicy but kel accidentally ate a brutally fiery chilli and couldn't taste anything for a while - oops! 😞

At Sukothai we enjoyed our wander through the ancient city. The temples were particularly impressive and on a rather grand scale. The place was huge - we were there for several hours and only saw the central area!! The giant buddhas amongst the trees and lotus ponds were very beautiful.

However the real experience lay in the truck ride back to the bus station. 28 people in the back of the truck with no respect for any road rules whatsoever makes for an interesting ride - we had to jump backwards out of the "windows" to get out!
