  | Chedi Doi - Thung Siliam, Sukhothai You can see an old fashioned brick Chedi on a nearby hill from my wife's cousin's house near Thung Siliam in Sukhothai. I've always wanted to take a closer look at it but, although it looks quite close, I've never been able to find my way up to it. Of course, it doesn't help that the locals have a hard time understanding the concept of taking a walk for pleasure and often 'rescue' the lost Farang and take me back home if I wander too far!  Anyway, we were up there during Songkran and my wife had a friend drive us up to the local fire station and we were able to walk the rest of the way up to this Chedi. Here's a picture of Thai's walking:  Here's the view from the top of the hill, near the Chedi:  Sorry for the quality of the pics, I forgot to bring my camera and took these with my phone. |
