Sukhothai

Arrived here a couple of days ago, by train to Phitsanulok and 66km leaving at 3pm.
It is still very hot. Apparently it can reach 43degrees...
Sukhothai (the rising of happiness)'s kingdom flourished from mid 13th to late 13th century, the golden age of Thai civilisation. The Sukhothai dynasty expanded its kingdom to include an area even larger than present day Thailand.
We cycled to the historical park, one of Thailand most impressive World Heritage Sites: the remains of 21 sites and 4 large ponds within the old walls. It was lovely cycling under the shade of beautiful acacia and mango trees
Breathtakingly beautiful Buddhas
