After a one hour journey by bus (30 baht), here I am in "Bus Terminal to Sukhothai". In fact, the city suffers from a personality disorder. There is the Sukhothai and its temples visited by tourists and a modern city New Sukhothai with its guest houses. This time, I opted for a bungalow at the Garden House.
Awakening at dawn. The first rays of sun made me emerge from my sleep. I swallow corn flakes floating in a bowl of milk with a touch of honey and gp for adventure. I take the bus to Sukothai Historical Park (20 baht) E

The Sukothai Historical Park is enclosed in a chamber of three successive walls with two moats that today, for what remains, have lost their character impassable. There are three major areas of access that each claim a right of entry to 100 baht. Generally visitors simply go in the The historical park in itself is pleasant and peaceful stroll in the alleys and the temples and stone Buddhas incredibly well preserved. You can rent bikes (made it once you are inside, otherwise it will cost you 10 baht per cycle to bring them in ) but you know my taste for walking and event if the plan they gave you at the entrance gives you the impression of a huge complex, you will can easily do it by feet.


There are few just a few visitors. This is surprising. And it's really a place where it is easy to make contacts with other travelers. They all go in the same places, including Poo Restaurant (where ice creams are delicious) and the bus to the historic city. I also have discussed with the only persons I met who were disappointed by Thailand and guess what, they were French!
