sukhothai was once known as the capital of thailand...back in the day. it is now frequented by the odd tourist, passing by visiting the historical park, which is really beautiful - no matter how many buddah statues ones sees! we caught the bus with this thai woman, not much of a looker but typically thai. at the park, we hired bicycles and cycled the day away and even had an encounter with a monsoon, which lasted about an hour. it was actually relief from the heat - a blessing in disguise, no doubt.
whilst strolling in the street after eating in the night market (and surviving!), we came across an elephant. yes, a real one. judging by the camera shake, we were rather excited - the night markets are incredible. they're buzzing with locals. not many spoke english but some had the basics which helped. (ie: no meat. how much? beer...) it was a real experience, a very, very good one at that.
