Sukhothai Ruins

Today I've been having the pleasure to be in Sukhothai, in the ruins of what used to be Thailand's capital in the 13th century. Historical documents suggest it used to be a benevolent rule, according to Theravada Buddhism.

The place has a magic aura. The ruins beautifully mix with trees, palm trees and moats (those purposefully build around the buildings to mark the beginning of a purified area).



On top of all that, I started to find real backpackers, those with a tight budget, not stuck in beach resorts or party areas, and full of great stories and cool travel plans!
