Other Information

Sukhothai is a city in northern Thailand in which the oldest parts of the city date back to the 12th century and have been made into a park. This park is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen with Khymer temples, Thai style temples and Buddhas placed among lakes full of lotus flowers and water lilies.

I happened to get stranded here during Songkran (Thai new year) festival against my plans. Upon my 2nd morning here I was slightly annoyed to be woken at 5am by gamelan and traditional music. However as I listened to the music floating over the beautiful surroundings I realised I was in a truly wonderful place.
