 Later that day I also visited the Sukhothai Historical Park (N17.01928 E99.70636) and I even paid an entrance fee of 60 Baht just to be able to compare these tho parks. Well, if you’ve seen Si Satchanalai then you don’t have to see Sukhothai – that is my opinion. Reason? The buildings – or their remains – are almost identical, but you are alone and surrounded by nature in Si Satchanalai and you are in a city at just another tourist spot with all that comes with it – stalls, other tourists and an entrance fee.
In the evening, after riding 483km today, I ended up in Nakhon Sawan again. As the only hotel I knew was the police I tried them again. There was a different guy on duty though and he didn’t know a word in English. He sent me just around the corner to the tourist police (… OK, so what kind of police was the guy I slept in office with the last time?).The tourist police suggested a guesthouse – not the cheapest one, but the only one I would apparently be able to find. 150 Baht for an OK room and a bed with very shitty mattress. I didn't care about the mattress for one night too much but you might so check it out first before you accept this accommodation - N15.70165 E100.1192.
I had a buffet type dinner for 69 Baht even though bottle of water was 10 Baht and ice the same. They ran off with what they thought was tip quite quickly, so the end cost was 100 Baht. That was still not too bad considering I must have eaten about a kilo of different meets that you barbecue yourself on your own barbecue plate, lots of salad, noodles and ice cream.
And back to the guesthouse to end my day on a bumpy bed… Good night.
I have to add a picture from another nice place I saw on my way:
