Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai

We spent a few days exploring the ancient capital of Thailand: Sukhothai. Ruins dating back to 1300-1400. We started by biking up to some ruins on top of a hill to see the sunrise and then biked around the city to see other temples. At sunset we biked around the historical park which was a great way to avoid the heat and the tourists. The next day we rented a motorbike and rode about 1hr outside the city to Si Satchanalai to see more ruins. The ruins here had less restorations done. Unfortunately we did not document the motorbike karaoke ride home for everyone! We took hundreds of great pictures but since our internet isn't so great here, it takes us forever to upload....so we are posting all of our pictures on kodak gallery. After Sukhothai we took a VERY long bus ride up to the Lao border and stayed a few nights at Nong Khai before crossing into our next adventure. We are in Luang Prabang, Laos now and will be here for a little bit. We'll post pics soon!
