Thailand: The North

SUKOTHAI has the cutest airport ever

the airport


We flew from Bangkok to Sukothai in that little plane


An adorable place we stayed at for only 5euros a night. It was very hard to find though and worse of it all it was boiling hot, and we got lost. The time we spent searching for this place seemed like forever since we were carrying backpacks. But it was totally worth it cus this place looked like paradise.



Bridge to get to the temples in Wat Chang Lom, Si Satchanalai Historical Park











Haha! On a lady´s bike! This park was huge, so bikes were indispensable.









There is a lot of gorgeous landscape to see in Thailand.

Coincidentally, we got to see the king´s birthday celebration while we were visiting the temples



Wat Chang Lom




This was the spookiest sight I´ve ever seen. I walk in the temple look at a glass box, (where you see the figure sitting in the meditating position way inside), and I see a real person! I look a second time, and yes, it´s a human being, totally still, no sign of breathing, no eye movement... I freaked out and left the temple




Riding a motorcycle on the opposite side of the road and going up and down a mountain was a challenge! That I can tell you but it was awesome! - Mae Hong Son





It got so cold up on the mountain on a bike that I had to get myself a sweatshirt. At least I got myself a souvenir of paradise. Don't forget to take one yourself!
This Paradise is located at the highest point in Thailand. Doi Inthanon National Park
