Day 32 - Sukothai to Phisanulok

Woke up at 9am and quickly went to the Sukothai historical park which is situated 13km from Sukothai town.

When I arrived there, I quickly went to rent a bicycle from 'K-bikes' for 30B (they gave me a free map of the site) and went to buy my admission ticket for a total of 110B. (100B for admission + 10B for bicycle)

The place is not really very large and the main sites can be covered in about an hour if you are on a bicycle. I find the place very peaceful and serene and would like to spent more time there.

However, I do not wish to stay another night in Sukothai town as it's very boring and the air con unit in my room
was leaking water. Thus, I quickly made my way back to the hotel to pack up before the stipulated check out timing.

I decided to proceed to Phisanulok which is situated about 60km from
Sukothai. Rode eastward on highway 12 and reached Phisanulok at about 2.30pm.

Rode around town and had lunch before deciding to check in to 'Prince hotel for 400B.

9pm I went to the dinner at the restaurant near the night bazaar that I've been to with someone special sometime ago. It's a really nice place and it brings back many fond memories. Cost: 200B

I feel that Phisanulok is a big town that is still affordable unlike other tourist orientated towns. Nice place to stay for an extended period. Will be back again. Tomorrow I shall proceed to Phetchabun.

Expenses:

Hotel - 400B
Petrol - 200B
F&B - 250B
Entertainment - 140B
