Sukhothai - Part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site (days 11-13)

Predicted last stop before Chiang Mai: Sukhothai! 😁 Specifically, Old Sukhothai, because the new city is relatively unspectacular. That's why I stayed in a hostel directly opposite the historic park (part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site) in the old town, and once again, I was the only one in a 4-bed room 🤷‍♀️

Since leaving Ayutthaya, I haven't seen many backpackers... so either it's the absolute off-season, or people only visit the really big cities 🤔

In Sukhothai, they definitely missed something. Because even though there were 'only' temples to admire, they were really something special. That's why I headed straight to the historic park on the day of arrival. But this time not on foot, but by bike, as the area was really huuuge.

Already a little sun-damaged 😅

And right after the entrance, there it was: Wat Mahathat (there was already one with the same name in Ayutthaya 🤷‍♀️)

Shortly after the photo, I fell asleep...😴😂

And when I woke up, there were goats 🐐🤷‍♀️

Also, just a few meters away, a Thai family had taken over, staring at me very strangely 🧐 Finally, one of them came up to me and asked for a photo. I said of course, and suddenly I had the whole family around me....😅 these racists.. just because I'm white 🤣

Those were my two days in Sukhothai, the next day I continued to Chiang Mai...😁👌🏼
