We arrived in Bangkok in the late afternoon on 12.October after a short bus journey from Ayutthaya. We had booked two nights at the “Born Free” hostel in Bangkok which had only recently opened and is located near Khao Son Road, the main shopping district. We were both exhausted from a day of temple sightseeing in Ayutthaya so we decided to have an early dinner and sleep.

Ayutthaya – An old city
We arrived in Ayutthaya on 11.October after 5hour bus journey from Sukhothai. Our Guesthouse “Somjai Palce” was located in the centre of town and therefore an ideal starting point to explore the city. We decided to visit Wat Phra Mahathat in the evening just before sunset. It was the perfect time to take photos of the famous tree that has grown around a Buddha head.

Sukhothai – A historical park
We took a 6hour bus from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai on 10.October and were relieved to discover that our guesthouse “Ruengsrisri” was located directly next to the bus station. This saved us from having to pay an overpriced tuk-tuk journey to our hotel. As we arrived in Sukhothai earlier than expected (around 1pm) we decided to visit the famous Sukhothai historical park on that same day.
