On Friday we spent the day touring the ruins of the old city of Sukhothai, the first capital of Siam. This city was established in the 1300’s and its architecture is considered to be the most classic of Thai styles. Here, there are 45 sq kilometers of ruins with the walls and moats, gateways still mostly intact! It was very surreal touching and walking through these ruins. It was hot as hell, but nevertheless, we rented bikes and rode through this park until we were on the verge of death and then finished the remote areas in our car. Ted actually rode his wife around piggyback on his bike all day! Pretty impressive! Roger’s day also included intermittent interviews by Thai school children that were sent into the park to find “falangs” and practice their English with a list of scripted questions!! At the end of the day, we met a cold Singha (Thai beer) and the swimming pool at the hotel with great enthusiasm!
Where is the picture of Seng being escorted on Rogers bike?? Thailand gives a new definition to "hot" huh??!! We miss you guys , cant wait for the slideshow party when you get back!
