Heading North, and Glad for It!

Next, we took a 7 hour bus trip north to Sukhothai. It is a small city near a site of ancient ruins. Our hostel was harming and made of polished wood paneling. There were misquitos a' plenty here but it was very nice with a beautiful garden. We rode around the ancient ruins for hours effectively granting me my first sunburn of the trip. I felt at peace in Sukhothai everyone was very kind and it was quiet. We all had a chance to regroup after our first hectic days in Bangkok.

After Sukhothai, we headed north to Chiang Mai. I had heard how wonderful it was supposed to be so I had very high expectations. When we arrived, we were greeted with heavy traffic and tourists in droves. Compared to where we had been it might has well have been Bangkok. We booked our rooms at a popular hostel named Julie's Guesthouse. It was nice and after much deliberation we decided to book a 3 day jungle trek through them.
