Thailand-Sukhothai

From Bangkok we left with our group and headed by train up north to Sukhothai. We stayed at a great guesthouse called J & J. The next morning we were up early and went cycling through the old city of Sukhothai. We walked through the first kingdom of thailand, and road our bikes through the small streets that led from temple to temple.

At one of our temple stops these locals were selling live eels, frogs and turtles. You bought them and let them go in the nearby lake. They say the turtle brought a long life, a frog brought a good job and the eel health.

We wanted to buy them all to let them go, but in the end we set this turtle free...
