Thailand, Nov 11, Phitsanulok - Lampang

 Another early start this morning, as we left Phitsanulok and drove further north to our next over night stop in Lampang.

On the way (which is about a 3.5 hour drive) we had 2 stops.  The first one was a local family with historical knowledge in Sukhotai. Here we made our own lucky charms.  Our hosts set up an archery competition using (I think) a bamboo bow and arrow.  About 30 of us took part, and amazingly I won.  My arrow being only one of two to hit the target and mine was not too far from the bull's eye  (with a stretch of imagination!).  No-one more surprised than me!



We had lunch there which was very tasty and prepared there by our host and his family.









And after that we went to the walled city of Sukhotai which is an UNESCO - listed site with Buddha images and more besides.  Saw many little Egrets and also a couple of Cattle Egrets (I think)







White Vented Mynas (I think)
























Another really great day.  And tomorrow, off on our travels to our next stop where we were to stay for 3 nights.
