We've nearly had enough of the old cities!

Old sukothai city

Well we woke up late in pitsanulok and then got in a tuktuk to get to the bus station.  Paid and on we went. Luckily we got 3 seats between the two of us, and didnt get pestered too much about where we were going and what we were doing! After we arrived it was a hot hot day so we had noodles and a coke (jay had a chang beer) and then rented some bikes for the rest of the day.  Went into sukothai park and went and saw some of the ruins.  These ones were even better than Ayyuthaya, Jay was in his element taking photos of absolutley everything!  Also went and saw another tall standing buddah.  You used to be able to go up onto a massive open balcony above his head where there are really old scriptures and drawings about the buddhas life, but this has been closed (it looked really old and crumbly).  After about 4 hours of biking around we decided to call it a day so dropped the bikes off and got back on the bus back to pitsanulok.  We then found out to our horror that if we wanted to get the train to chaing mai without paying a fortune we had to go at 7.30...AM! Decided it was worth it for the price, even though it was going to be 8 hours on the train so off we go!

I feel i've seen every buddah available!
