We're going back to the Poo for breakfast. We meet the Barcelona couple. We rent motorcycles to visit the old city. The motorcycle of them has a deflated tire, thanks to the Thai diligence we have to leave them, we want to take bus that leaves to the three for Chiang Mai.
Wat Sa Si
Historical Park of Shukothai
We leave with the motorcycles. Although it's cloudy, don't forget the sunscreen. We approach the Historical Park of Shukothai, the old city is very well preserved.
It is a complex of temples surrounded by gardens and ponds full of lotus, everything is very clean and careful. Emphasizes the Wat Mahathat, with a stupa with a base of three levels and a large Buddha.

Nearby the Wat Si Sawai, the Wat Sa Si and the Wat Trapang Thong that is accessed by crossing a large pond full of lotus. It's really worth it.

We also visited the Wat Si Chum, with a big Buddha and the Wat Chang Lom.

We eat near the Park, meet a couple and are offered rambutan, a very rich fruit.

We return the bikes, pick up the backpacks and take a tuk tuk to get to the bus station which is about four kilometres away. Our next destination is Chiang Mai.

The bus is not very good, the seats are a bit bad. One of our friends is starting to get sick. The air conditioning is on full blast.
Six hours later we arrive in Chiang Mai. Located in the northern part of Thailand, Chiang Mai is a cultural city, very nice, the old town bounded by a wall is really worth it.
Sukhothai bus station
We take a tuk tuk to get from the bus station to the city center, we want to stay in the Julie, full. We look for another one that the Valencian women recommended to us but we can't find it, it's late and there is little light in the street and there are many closed places. Finally we stayed next to the Julie in the JJ. The rooms are a bit expensive although they are clean, tomorrow we will decide if we want to change.
We go to sleep, we are very tired.
