The bungalows at the Gardenhouse in Sukothai, Thailand.
Only two days after I had arrived in Sukothai, it was already time to leave. I wanted to pay a visit to Chiang Mai for a few days before I attempt to attend a traditional Thai festival in Isaan province. So, I boarded a northbound bus around 1:00 pm. Luckily, the seat next to me was open for most of the trip, so I could have my backpack next to me and enjoy some legroom. During the last part of the journey, another guy sat there for about an hour, so I had to move the pack between my legs, which was really ultra-cramped. Of course, the guy had to nod off and man spread his right arm and leg all over me. Oh, and before he jumped on, I caught another young guy sitting across the aisle snapping a selfie with me in the background.

Two of the ladies who run the PU Guesthouse in Ayutthaya, Thailand.
This morning, as I left the PU Guesthouse to climb in the back of a songthaew to take me to the bus station, the sky unleashed an absolute torrent of rain right as I stepped off the front porch. Not only did I get damp from that, but a rip in the tarp roof that covered the back of the songthaew allowed a bunch of water to spray all over me, so I got another involuntary shower.
