After our jungle adventures, Liz and I spent an extra day in Mae Sot (mostly so I could have my wet clothes laundered), and then caught a bus for Sukhothai, the ancient capital of Thailand.
Before coming, we had heard a couple of rave reviews for a particular hostel here, the Orchid Hibiscus Guest House, and it has turned out to be just as lovely as everyone promised.
We have our own bathroom with a hot shower (minus the cockroach and salamander we had in Mae Sot) and the room has air conditioning and a sweet 4-post bed with built-in mosquito net. Not that you really need the net in this hotel (in Mae Sot we could have used one).
We also have a swimming pool and jacuzzi. And there is a peaceful little hammock area for chilling out in the shade. Breakfast is included.
Oh yeah, it costs $24 per night. That's a lot for Thailand, but I'd expect to pay $200 or more for something similar in the states.
The only problem is that this computer freezes every time I try to edit photos, so I guess they're going to have to wait a while. Asrhksajdhglkajdsfglasdsd.
I think we're going to stick around Sukhothai a while longer as there are a lot of cool ruins to explore on bicycle (20 baht to rent per day... about 75 cents) and we are completely in love with the hotel. Well, I am, anyway...
I promise photos as soon as I find a faster computer.
