I from travelled from Bangkok up to Sokhothai yesterday, which took seven hours by first class coach service. This means there was air-condtioning and stewrdess serving drinks and snacks and a free meal at a scheduled stop. I am suprised how flat Thailand is despite the distance I've come north.
I arrived at Sukhotai and am pleased again with the standard of the accommodation. Today I went to see the ancient ruins of Sokhothai. The area is so large you hire bike to get around. I then went to an extaordinary site called Wat Thewet, where a man has built over 22 years a tribute to Buddha based on a dream he had. He has since died but his son continues to maiantin the site. Sorry no camera cable with me this everning to upload a picture.
Tomorrow I move on to Chaing Mai.

Hi Paul,
Glad it's going well.
Quins got a useful bonus point victory at Montpelier last Friday night.
Now it's all down to the Connacht match on Sat. at the Stoop (and a few results elsewhere going our way.)
We need another BP win to go through as one of the the three best runners up in the pool stages!!
I will be taking an old friend ,Charles Conder, on your ticket so thanks for that. ( I think you met him the last time he came on Dennis's ticket)
