After a day exploring the central zone of Sukhothai Historical Park we returned to the park the following day with bikes and a plan to explore the Northern and Western Zones. We accidentally discovered a new bike route which goes from the new city bus station to the Historical park. The route is 15 kmContinue reading “Sukhothai Historical Park and a Bike Ride Along the Mae Ramphan River”

Sukhothai- Wat Traphang Thong and giving Alms to Monks
Wat Traphang Thong is centrally located in Sukhothai outside the historical park. The “temple of the golden pond.” is on an island in a small lake. It’s lit at night, very pretty, and a great place to watch the sunset. It is the only one of the ancient temples within the old city walls thatContinue reading “Sukhothai- Wat Traphang Thong and giving Alms to Monks”
Bangkok to Sukhothai and The Sukhothai Historical Park Central Zone
We took a bus from Bangkok to Sukhothai. You can also get there by plane or by train although it’s a one hour bus ride to Sukhothai from the train station. We picked the bus because it was cheap and direct. We were told 650 Bht each but we ended up having to pay 850Continue reading “Bangkok to Sukhothai and The Sukhothai Historical Park Central Zone”

Ko Samui
Originally posted on travel adventures after 50:
We strated the trip from Ko Phangan to Ko Samui witha share taxi from Mai Pen Rai to Thong Sala. It was a very fanny brand new jeep 4×4 which looked very expensive for a small set of huts on a beach. I am not sure how one pays…
Thialand- Ko Phangan
We were staying far away from the party scene on Ko Phangan at Mai Pen Rai Bungalows on Than Sadet beach. We arrived at 7:00am and found someone who let us check in early which was outstanding! Mai Pen Rai Bungalows was great. Super laid back and funky. We had a bungalow right on theContinue reading “Thialand- Ko Phangan”
Thailand Ko Lanta to Ko Phangan
One of the great things about traveling around Thailand is that lots of other people are doing it too so you can make arrangements to get most anywhere no matter where you are by using local agents. We always got at least two prices (often there was a difference), if in doubt we went withContinue reading “Thailand Ko Lanta to Ko Phangan”
