Hello readers!
It's difficult to keep up with the blog, not because of Wifi availability but because of lack of time. But here we are, I am writing from a Bus which is driving us from Sukhothai to Chiang Mai, we've left Bangkok two days ago. Now we are heading north.
Anyway, the pictures that I uploaded before are from our visit to the grand palace area. It is the place where several of the.kings or Thailand have been leaving. Let's say it is the equivalent to the spanish Palacio de la Zarzuela. But just equivalent in its function, because oh my God, it's this nice! Such an explosion of shiny colors and forms, mixed with Asian God figures. There is no way that you can take a good photo of the reality. I think you have to see this live.
In an attempt of capturing more the essence of the moment I have taken a couple of videos, but they are simply too big to) upload them. I have tried to upload the.one of the boat trip but it took about an hour to get 100Mbyte done, so in the future probably I will not upload videos to the blog unless they are pretty small.
After seeing the temples we decided to continue going north, and we took a train to Phisanoluk, which cost 8eur for 5 hours! we even had lunch served and later a.muffin, including water. The train was falling apart but the service was good.
At night we arrived to Phisanoluk and we asked a security man in the train station for the bus station, he was really friendly and walked us until the bus stop, which was almost 300meters away. Thai people are sometimes really helpful and friendly.
After taking what they call a "bus" we arrived at our bungalow house, really nice. First time here in Sakhuthai we realized that our vaccine made sense. There where are a lot of wild abandoned dogs lying around.
It is quite nice to see how much fruits you can buy and how good they look. Daniela bought one dragonfruit, which looks really surrealistic and has impressively strong colors, however it didn't taste any special.
We went yesterday to a ancient town full of temple ruins which also was really interesting. We will post the pictures later. It was dated to year 1200 and was very important for Thailand in the past.
We plan to stay until the 19th here in the north, and then we will fly down to the south to spend the rest of the time in the nice thai beaches. But do not worry, where we are heading is still far away from the flooded areas that you know from the news.
Regards, Daniela & Juanma.
