Cycling at Srisatchanalai Historical Park Sukhothai...

Dec 29, 2017

After we picked up my brother and his girlfriend, we headed to Sukhothai. However, we would like to have noodles curry " Khoa Soy" for lunch. My brother recommended two popular restaurants in the area but all full then we decided to go further and looked for the restaurant on our way.

It was funny for us when I asked mister who was sitting next to the driver (My dad) to look for the restaurant. He asked me, " How does it look?". I could not tell him because restaurants on the road most similar. We must read the sign what they were selling.  I wrote Thai word as what we were looking for on a paper for him. He compared the alphabet and told us twice when we passed by. It looked similar but not what we were looking for.

Eventually, we found the rest area where selling many kinds of food. Yes, Khoa soy was available too.

Consequently, we headed to Sukhothai where our destination was Sukhothai Historic Park. We got there late afternoon, then my dad took us to Srisatchanalai for a short while. We were bicycling here until dark and moved to the resort for resting and get ready for the next day. click to see album

Bicycling Sukhothai Historic Park

This was the first place I wanted to visit on this trip to Thailand. I lived in Sukhothai for a couple years and went there once since my grandparents still alive. We did not stay long on that day because my grandfather had diarrhea. 

I found that there were bicycling in Sukhothai Historic Park in the present day so this was must do. I let my dad knew all my planned and places I wanted to go then he could plan the trip. My dad was our guide and driver every time we visited Thailand.

We got there in the morning which did not have many tourists yet. We rented bicycles for each and started our tour. A few hours later, we decided to finish our tour as everyone got hungry. There was a local restaurant by the parking area where we wanted to eat but too many people at that time. Of course, it was noon and there were many tourists all over the place. Well, we agreed to move from there and looked for the place to eat on our way. Finally, we stopped at a hut by the road. An old couple who selling food told us that not many ingredients left but I replied to them, anything they could cook enough for us was fine. Eventually, we were full and ready to be on the road again.

We stopped at Pisanulok bus station to get tickets for my brother and his girlfriend. They were back to Bangkok. After that, we headed to the place where my dad wanted to take us stay overnight. Unfortunately, it was dark and my dad did not remember the turn well so we agreed to stay at the first place we passed.  I will write about where we stayed separate.

I recommend this place and go in the morning because it is very hot in the afternoon especially if you go in Summer.
