... "Only" 7 hours. It was only half as strenuous as the trip from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai. But good;)

In the morning it went off early as usual, because we wanted to take the bus clock by 11. Clock at 10.30, an employee drove us from the hotel to the bus station for free. He showed us where we could buy a ticket and shortly after, our bus had arrived.

Sch √ ∂ n again with AC. Then read it to endure.

At other bus stops now and then came Verk √ § shore in the car, to sell food. This we declined with thanks, but as always.

As it was already getting dark slowly, we arrived in Khon Kaen.

We looked pretty exhausted us one of the G √ § √ § stand on user, which were listed in the Travel Guide √ º Guide (First Choice Guest House). We unanimously decided that the room or the G √ § guesthouse was not the best / is. Pretty dirty, crooked, and above all it was really hot in the room. And by that I mean it REALLY, REALLY hot √ ü. Since you already sweating just from view.

So we are back out. The owner was still friendly and invited us to come to the FR √ ° √ ° hst ck again.

First checked where the n √ § √ § Next G should be guesthouse / hotel and go. There have been abnormally hot, so we were glad, after a long search, the good St √ º ck (Phew Inn Hotel) to found. A 4-st √ ∂ integrally hotel. There was only air conditioning and a double will cost 300-350 baht (These are about 7 to 7.50, Ç ¨). This gave it a bath with hot shower, WiFi and TV with some English and a German-transmitter (German wave Asia). Only Batman Begins was, unfortunately, on thai; (

And exp √ § is interesting to note that there we had the previous best bed. So the mattress her:) The annihilation were too hard, too soft or you have bridges the suspension in the R √ º GUUUUUT had ... Accordingly, we have slept:) Did we ever rest so f √ º r the following days.

Tomorrow it will go n √ § namely the train to Nong Khai. From Khon Kaen, a three-hour ride. Sooooo not going to sound tough, but we need m √ º all day to 2 clock at night berstehen √ º. Only then f √ § The first train carried away. The n √ § Next to clock about 4.15 to 5.05 and then again a clock. Well. Since we do not take so long, we've been in a hint of decadence, 3rd Class geg nnt √ ∂ (70 baht √ º r f 2 people. They are about 1.50, Ç ¨). I'm curious. From au Bouveret √ it always looked like the Gem √ º tlichkeit an S-Bahn.

After a long hst Fri √ ° √ º ck the bed we are on a bus, which in Germany itself unreasonable re w as a cattle truck √ §, went to Sukhothai.

After a spa √ üigen bus √ º f for 20 baht per person (45 baht = 1, Ç ¨) we were then in Old Sukhothai from a protected √ § ftig Asian wife countries to borrow from two bikes √ § at a price of 30 √ º berredet baht (good decision √ º Brig).

It started with the elderly Dutch bike through the ancient ruins, which the Fl √ § surface of a small town have.

At kilometer long forest trails and roads √ Bouveret it goes past old temples and the roots of Thai history.

√ º hlten found after 20 liters of water and ausgeschwitztem √ º ber 4 hours at 35 ¬ ∞ C Radelei in the sun then we have seen the main area almost completely.

An exhausting day comes to an end and with it the last day of Sila Resort, for tomorrow we leave at 11 clock direction Khon Kaen, which is located in the northeast and us as a small intermediate station to Nong Kai is used, which is the portal of entry to Laos.

Here we will stay a few days to relax on the Mekong and hopefully to shoot good photos, which are designed zugegebenerma √ Bouveret not as easy as I do not think it was gray filter.

Good Morning and Hello dear readers:)

Today was already going on simultaneously. Things packed and off to the bus station.
Spontaneously we wanted to buy our ticket, without knowing when it goes off. Once we were struck by the number of bus companies (not between the Thai fonts and colorful signs so easy), we were sent to WIN friendly tour.
The ticket f √ º r 218 Baht per person and at 10.15 clock (clock 04.15 in Germany), so in half an hour, the bus drove off.

A quick drink and eat what organized. Then it went off relatively √ ° p-order. 5 hour drive. For Gl √ º ck in a bus with air conditioning:)

Arrived in Sukhothai, we were approached by a young man the same, the g √ º Cheap rooms offered. The Guest House hei √ Sila Resort and is lit up on a few things that will be received at the sp √ § ter still, highly recommended:)

Because it looked very nice, we thought: not looking at harm. After a warm shower (!!!!*) we went into the little town.

A big disadvantage is √ üer that bridges found in the showers are always M √ º. There are 4 communal bathrooms, which are distributed there on the floor. Therefore, although there were no windows there, and the R √ § rooms opened up to GE √ ∂. The showers / toilets were clean but super.

(* The first warm since we are here)

Actually we wanted to look at the market there and eat something, but when I tried to photograph the way there a temple, we got pretty excited and wildly waving against an old M √ ∂ nch run.

Ends in broken English and with H √ § √ ° √ F and Bouveret, he gave us to understand that this is a temple and a school.

In the middle one, is located in Santander temple reconstruction efforts.

He showed us the hall, where they are currently housed their figures and statues, and showed us how to pray in Buddhism.

He was really cute and messy:) He gave us what to drink, gave us a calendar with a picture of K √ ∂ nigs, who is revered in Thailand very much. On the rear side R √ º he wrote us a little "dedication".

It was clear to him a small donation, we were also willing to give ... We are now immortalized on a temple roof tiles: D

He also showed us some posts by other people who were already there.
Perhaps there is indeed one or the other readers on our blog again, who was also there?

There are also photos - but was my little bit too annoying celebrity photographer √ ∂ s or so, so the photos I have come to nothing: ((au üer √ one)

It was pretty impressive, and when did you ever seen such an opportunity? At the end we learned that he was the senior M √ ∂ nch of the temple and was able to Munich M √ ∂ a little look at prayer.

Since that night many flies in the city were out, we walked slowly toward the center of Sukhothai to eat something. But since we do not fly because of the many to one Gark √ º √ º to the surface ckgreifen wanted, we looked for a Pub & Restaurant - Terrace and Trees was the name. There seemed to be somewhat upscale, but still priced oki.

As we had now reached our 11 months, we took the time to an event f √ º r not converted enough times to € 10 food and drink:)

Vollgefuttert we went with a xxx ck f √ º r √ ° to 40 baht to the hotel. He sat down on a pair of glasses, which was convenient because the entire flight. It looked funny nonetheless:)

At the hotel again soon to the Internet (from our rooms, unfortunately, not available, therefore we always Sat √ Bouveret at the Rezeoption). They told us that the whole of the fly is just as bad today. And real. On at most n √ § days were still a few flies there, but considerably less.

Back to the room, we discovered an ant Street in our room. These were my toiletry bag quite appealing. I was sooo not funny now, but good. Matt then went directly to the reception, then panicked, worried an antidote quickly.

So the staff was pretty nice and round the clock bem ht √ º. Even the corridors were ckenspiralen √ M √ º º everywhere. So do something about the staff is already doing.
