on the backs of the giant

After we had thoroughly recovered from the first bus ride, so Sukhothai was before us. The city itself was in principle not look like much, but it had the largest temple complex in the country, the historical park of the city. Those we explored with a hired tuk-tuk driver who took us through the huge complex. We saw a total of about a dozen temples, or rather what is left of them, which were embedded in well-kept lawns and ponds. Most temples were of a very classical structure, but some were also built in the style of Angkor, as his empire until handed to Thailand. In direct comparison against Sukhothai Angkor is certainly a chance, not even the largest temple of the plant could a similar feeling as the sites of Angkor to convey. Nevertheless made the tour fun, too, as there was to discover some nice details. So were many temples decorated with over thirty elephant sculptures, and another only by a fairly steep staircase of stone was reached. Moreover, there was much to admire huge stone sculptures, whose splendor by the decline was even stronger. The only annoying thing was that on the same day countless Thai school classes were on the premises, in a pink uniform look, almost like a cute, small Telekom strike. In any event, watched the little brats are in something like this as if we had just landed from outer space. This and the oppressive heat made us look then at some point the distance, back to the safety guesthouse. In the evening I still wanted to look over the internet, but this proved extremely problematic. The internet cafe where I wanted to go, explained to me anyway, that the Internet would be available temporarily, but not by technical problems but the fact that the son of the owner wanted to gamble undisturbed. After some heated debate, they suddenly understood no more English and I had to find something else. So I asked in a Video rental for an alternative, but the pleasant staff knew just the word Internet itself. Nevertheless, they asked me to help me kindly. Since my rough directions to Thai unfortunately nothing at all said I was promptly shipped off to the scooter of the owner and drove across the city. To my surprise, we were then actually in front of another Internet cafe, which was useable. Unfortunately I then had no idea where I actually stuck and had to take a taxi to find home.
This is just one of many examples that prove that the population here is very warm, if sometimes rather clumsy. Otherwise, it was rather
little to see and so we decided to break up very soon. It was then by bus directly to Chiang Mai, the capital of the north. Since we are in Chiang Mai, however, wanted to temporarily stay only one night, we had only very brief impressions of the city. In any case, it seems, despite its size, somehow familiar, what was perhaps through the tiny streets. In those we were after all dine Italian very well, before it even on the onward journey was and so we have not been given any of the countless temples and shrines to get the city to face despite the fact that they just should have as many as the world metropolis of Bangkok . Then it went at least according to Pai, which was located only 130 kilometers north still slapped with a bus trip of more than four hours to book. The streets ran throughout the serpentine format and the countless mountains go away easily. Pai himself, was then located in a wonderfully idyllic valley, almost like Swiss resorts in the summer and as green as Matthis strange polo shirt. If you drive as far to the north comes from, or will one of the neighboring countries translated, or enjoy the beautiful nature here. So you can swim in waterfalls, hike through the woods, river rafting or how we ride elephants. In that so many travelers are on the road, Pai has for the low population of 3,000, also a very active live music and Night Life scene. Doing so one mass meeting people from all over the world. We listened as a group of Israelis psychedelic rock, or looked on as a Canadian flew with her scooter in front of our eyes in the face. We also learned from a Mexican, burritos that come from the U.S. and by an Englishman, the 1860 (!) Munich five years ago played Champions League. On the third day it was then but so far that we could climb on the backs of the largest land mammals on the planet with them and spent half a day. First of all we were allowed to feed the huge beasts, of which the largest of four meters were determined before the was rising. This worked Optional size of elephants, on the trunk or the fact that the elephant was a stage with his front leg and it pulled up his ear. Since we had gotten the biggest, it was also getting to not so easy to top, but that we have mastered the time being. Then began the ride for 1 ½ hours through the jungle, the three elephants, five tourists and three guides were single lock. Our elephant was once straight through a thorn bush, which is pretty ugly if you can not escape. Then he would also no longer move, the guide to what brought his pike to use. This "weapon" he hammered at full Force with the tip on the side without an elephant's head, so that a person would certainly have been unconscious. After that spurts the poor animal was still on some of these bats, or alternatively, the pointed end in the ear or head down inside, until blood flowed. Of course the animals do not respond to a light stroking, but it has certainly not run, we also saw clearly that the animals did not wanted to run. Then we rode through the jungle, which was full with these giant spiders, it certainly did in Australia in memory, so you really had to do just that, not to come into some nasty network or to fall from the elephants. We had a seat that is not, what is more animal-friendly indeed, but lacks any comfort. Our elephant had a huge spine, and I know nobody likes to sit on the edge, also had his bristles also very painful. This was the jungle ride a hell ride that one would have to save. Then it was another 1 ½ hours in the river where we had fortunately not sit. There was simply romped with the elephant, they did get wet, they threw one, then one into the water or they rode rodeo. Also had to clear the guides drive the animals, but they seemed to like more than to ride. At some point we had had enough and splashing as a guide was nearly crushed, we could not believe the whole thing not anyway. Then you could for fifteen € buy ridiculous DVDs with a ten minute video clip and one hundred blurry photos of the trip, fortunately we were able to get some pictures of other tourists for free. When we asked how the organizers on the treatment of the animals thought they told us that the animals had been previously used to transport construction material, which is now banned, and they therefore have no perspective. This we doubt very much and also the argument that they need the money work for food ridiculous. Anyway, we do not recommend any Thai / Asian tourists from such a ride, because in Cruelty to animals is our eyes and just a shame. Equally shameful was the way the Blue Restaurant, "which in the strong negative contrast, was the otherwise often very good, other pubs in Pai. Not only is there remarkable things were available on the card, like Pizza Como-Angola or fillet Safari with original Safarisoße (what should be), but also amusing spelling mistakes that made a Cordon Bleu Gordon Blue and more of Gin remembered. No, the real audacity was that the salami on my pizza Como Angola tasted of rotten fish and I after eating a piece about asking to get something else. But I got the kind information that I like to pay for the entire (!) Pizza, nor could choose something else if I would still want. I think it chops offer only rotten food and then not even the courage to make good the mistake. When I mentioned in the statement that I will only take my beer, there were of course ordinary Trouble. After they saw well that it was only fair that I did not pay, they decided wegzuekeln and featured just over our table light. Well, a tip had adopted it and also our opinion, Thai service Währe bad, it's horrible. Have a nice weekend.
