Next morning we were off to the next stop on our journey, Chiang Mai, biggest city (c. 200,000) in northern Thailand.
|
Another day, another tuk-tuk ride, this from Old Sukhothai
to New Sukhothai |
|
Does not love tuk-tuk rides, especially on open highway |
|
At the bus terminal, to resume our trip to Chiang Mai |
|
Bus terminal shrine; it's red Fanta, we learned, because red is a lucky color;
apparently He needs good luck |
|
Helpful information at the bus station |
|
Tipperary not even there, much less the US of A |
|
Our bus; not as luxurious as the previous one, but fine |
|
At the rest/lunch stop |
|
The facilities not quite so luxurious |
|
After arriving in Chiang Mai, another tuk-tuk ride, to the hostel |
|
An auspicious sighting: on a Chiang Mai side street, a Volkswagen 1500, just
like our first car, bought in 1968! |
|
Haven't seen one of these in nearly 50 years! Not even in Europe (they were
never exported to the US...it's a long story); I saw it again in various places
in Chiang Mai old city during our week there; apparently gets around just fine |
