LONG WEEKEND: SUKHOTHAI

WELCOME TO SUKHOTHAI!

looks like someone plucked you out and threw you into a time machine. friday was chulalongkorn day, which is a public holiday in thailand, so i took an 8 hour bus ride north to sukhothai for a holiday.

well the ass-numbing ride was definitely worth it. sukhothai was apparently "first" capital of thailand, so there's a huge area west from "new sukhothai" (the modern sukhothai city) called "old sukhothai", which is a huggggge historical park where the royal palace was.

for those who has been to the angkor wat, it's something like the angkor archeological park, minus the annoying child touts and busloads of tourists. the whole place was just freaking beautiful and serene.

enough of my yapping i'll just spam you with photo after photo until your computer browser hangs and crashes and you'll curse me for the remainder of your internship

Day Two: Hana Highway Tour

We were driving really near the edge of the mountains, and it felt the bus was gonna fall over.
But the view on top is AWESOME!

Road to Hana


The road was really bumpy rocky! The bus ride felt like a deep-tissue massage, which lasted for like 45minutes.

Huge waves + clear blue water. niceeee



The Waterfall



Black Sand Beach

where everything is black. hahahaha.




Lunch

Our very entertaining tourguide who who brought and set up the food shelter for us!


Haleakala National Park
where there are a few pools you can swim in.. but not dive. cos it's not very safe.


It was drizzling and the wind was blowing like mad, thus our faces. HAHA.
And I got to feed the horses!

I can totally explain this face kayyyy. Its tongue and mouth were HUGE and it looked so hungry, I thought it was gonna suck my whole hand in man! So the first attempt to feed it failed. I got too scared and dropped the banana skin hahaha!

And so the tourguide helped me with it.

Beautiful sky!!!

Maui's Winery



HAPPY PEOPLE SAY HELLO!!!!!!

Ulupalakua Ranch Store
