When i was in Thailand in 2001 i remember myself wandering around the streets of Bangkok and finding a poster on a travel agency, the photo on the poster caught my attention right away, it was a huge beautiful Buddha, i got in to ask where was that but nobody knew anything about it, i kept asking but I couldn’t find my answer. I came back to Mexico but never forgot about it, back then not many tourist had digital cameras so to look for it on the web without even knowing in which area was placed was a bit difficult. Few years later i saw a documentary on National Geographic about the north of Thaialnd and for my surprise they dedicated few minutes to that Buddha, it was in old Sukhothai Historical Park.

I had the chance to go back to Thailand and of course this time i visited Old Sukhothai, which ended up being one of my favorite places in this world, the capital of the Thai Empire for approximately 140 years. It is a place to really see and comprehend Thai culture.

Wat Si Chum - Old Sukhothai, Thailand

I don’t normally pose for photos myself, but i was so happy back then that i had to do it. Check out Wikipedia’s entry about Sukhothai.
