I had to give my muscle a break so I hitchhiked. The very first pick up stopped and gave me a ride until almost Thung Saliam where I checked us in into a nice little hotel. This day was rather uneventful apart from a temple and the pics are from Mo and Alex. And it was not so convenient to sit in the back of a pickup, trying to hold the bicycle with one hand and myself with the other...... read more

Hello, Sorry all its Kev writing again so you'll have to wait a little longer for another one of Carly's entries! The last few days have been spent in the ancient capital Sukhothai. It's split into the New City and Old City and we stayed at TR Guesthouse in the New City. The Old City is about 10 miles away and is where the UNESCO historical park is located with the ruins of the ancient capital. The New City however is where the better guesthouses are and a wider variety of food options. Our guesthouse turned out to be really good and we could tell not just because the first night we stayed there was a sign in the window stating they were fully booked but also when sitting out on their porch over the next ... read more

Hello. Bon, ben finalement hier le bus est presque arrivé à l'heure. Seulement 20 minutes de retard, celles qu'il avait en arrivant à Ayutthaya. 5 heures et demi de bus plutôt tranquilles.

Mais c'est toujours intéressant de voir les programmes proposés et les publicités. Par contre, aucune animation autour du quartier. La soirée sera trèèèès tranquille et me permettra de mettre à jour ... read more

I arrived in Sukhothai by minibus coming from Phi-lo - for only 40 THB. It was an easy 1 hour trip. Unfortunately the bus terminal in Sukhothai is far away from town and I had long discussions with different drivers till I finally found the cheapest option to town - the minibus. The driver agreed to trop me in front of the T.R. guesthouse but was angry with me in the end because I had already booked my room beforehand and he could not get any commision. The T.R. guesthouse is a very nice guesthouse in a peaceful location in the new part of Sukhothai near the bridge. The young couple running the guesthouse was extremely nice and helpful. And as I immediately loved the relaxed atmosphere and my nice room I decided to stay a ... read more
