12 hour combination train and road trip to get here from Lopburi. And the only reason to visit Sokhothai is the 13th
Century UNESCO World Hertage Site historical park containing the ruins of the ancient city of that name. And whilst it is perhaps better preseved in places, I must say I found the ruins of the ancient city of Ayutthaya more engaging. Nonetheless an enjoyable day. There are actually 5 sites within the park and I took a bike around the central zone, considered the main zone containing the most impressive ruins. Managed a swim in the hotel pool later this afternoon. Beasted myself! Much needed!! Would I do both Ayutthaya and Sokhothai given their similarities and what I know of them now? I think so. Up to Chiang Mai by bus tomorrow. Five and a half hours all being well. My final stop in Thailand. Regarded as the capital of the north and from where I will fly to Mandalay later in the week to begin my month in Burma as we Brits continue to call it!!
