SUKHOTAI:

- The 3 temple zones we visited during our 3 days in the city are a haven of peace. We rented bikes for 2 full days and rode around temples, shedis and Buddha statues. Wonderfull parks with NO CARS.

- A top experience was cycling up and down the 15km marked cycling path which took us through the country side and small villages. People on the way were extremely nice and smily, throwing "Sa Wat Dee" at us all the time. At least we learned a new Thai word. We were also really surprised by the apparent mess (and dirtiness) of all these country dwellings, at least the "gardens" where piles of stuff, wood, metal are in display... Thai people probably do not attach importance to tidiness as much as we do in the West.
