I am hopelessly in love. Sukhothai is the Thai Pompeii, and i'm hooked. Sowai mak mak doesn't cut it, this place is heaven. Of course, i never tire of ruined cities. I can only imagine what this place looked like in its day.
This morning i rented a dirt bike and rode outside the city walls and explored trails to find hidden temples and overgrown buddhas in the forest. In the day I explored the city proper, squinting my eyes and wishing it was eight hundred years ago. It's so lush here, and the canals are so well designed and extensive, it seems as though they were the roads of the city. Perhaps they were- i need to look into that. The architecture is so impressive, i actually cried at Wat Si Sawai. I just couldn't believe there was something so beautiful. Don't tell the thai girls.
At dusk i got back on the bike and went out and wandered the countryside, through fields and villiages, getting lost and found again. The hills are lovely. I might stay here a while.
Someone might have to come find me, like they had to do with that Dr. Livingstone guy.
