Wat Si Sawai or Sri Savaya, Sukothai, Thailand

A big Khmer style temple in Sukhothai There are plenty of big temples in Sukhothai Historical Park. If you’ve already seen Wat Phai Luang then you’ll know what the ruins of a Khmer style temple look like. However I do encourage you to seek out Wat Si Sawai (Wat Sri Savaya) just south of Wat Mahathat to …

Seated Buddha at Wat Mahathat, Sukothoi, Thailand

A seated Buddha near Wat Mahathat This is not one of the more the famous Buddha statues in either Wat Mahathat or Sukhothai.

Buddha with Diamond Eyes at Luang Pho Petch, Sukhothai

A Diamond Eyed Buddha in Sukhothai It’s always nice to discover something not in a guidebook or map (until now). A little place called Luang Pho Petch (Luang Po Ta Petch) is one of those places. It’s located just south of the impressive Wat Si Chum along the main road. The shrine/building/temple itself is hidden behind …

Buddha Hand with flowers at Wat Si Chum, Sukothai, Thailand

Visit the northern historic complex early in the morning for the best views If you are spending a few days in Sukhothai I suggest you visit the northern complex first at dawn. Wat Si Chum itself faces the east so it catches the light beautifully on a good morning. There’s no need to hire a …

First trip to the ruins at Sukhothai Historical park in Thailand

February 4, 2015April 16, 2015 / 18 Comments in » Thailand | - Updated on April 16th, 2015.

How to prepare for a visit to Sukhothai Historic park in Thailand Normally I like to get out and see a town before exploring its main highlight. In Sukhothai’s case that highlight are the stunning ruins in the old part of the city which contains the historical park. Sukhothai is Thailand’s answer to Angkor Wat in Cambodia …

Central roads: Chiang Mai to Sukhothai

January 21, 2015January 20, 2015 in » Thailand | Posted on January 21st, 2015

Making plans for north and central Thailand My original plan was to take a motorbike from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and tour the north of Thailand and central Thailand with it. That plan changed due to exorbitant fees the Thai bike rental places wanted to charge me in Bangkok. So I took the train. It’s …

Some notes about this travel blog
Travel Blog Content	Travel Blog journals are not always live as they happen. I want to document in writing & photography what's happening to me, and this journey as a whole. I don't have access to 24/7 internet, nor work behind a stationary media desk. And, when I do get online it's not all about writing here. Twitter/X is a good place to see my live updates. I have to factor many things into this journey, as such, time and finances to process photos, locate internet, upload and write on the road is prioritized. I do it whenever I can, and as fast as I can. Please take that into account.
	You might find this Travel Blog a little different to most. A search like this is not a picnic. Nor a wild travel party. A lot of what goes on here, is the raw reality of life. Lots more in my about section. If I have not written anything here or updated my status on twitter/x in over two weeks, then someone might like to call the police in said country. I joke not.
	If you have met me en route, please don't take offense if your name is not mentioned in my travel blog/journal. As mentioned it started off as a personal journal and will hopefully continue on like that. I change names and don't make personal references as I've seen people take offense in the past. If it happens here, then I will have to take the journal/blog off public viewing.
Photographs, Text & Copyright	Full resolution photographs are available for sales, prints or for free depending on intended usage. Please get in touch for further details. All images and text are copyright protected. For further information please read my copyright statement
Sign up to my free travel journal updates	A full length RSS feed is available to all, BUT I'd really recommend my free email subscription instead! My email subscription gives you a whole lot more: my photo book, back-story details not published here. It's all completely free, and a great way to travel along with me and stay up to date.
