Yesterday we took a trip out to Sukhothai. It was really rad & hot. I'm all about ruins these days. Overall it was a feat.
After our driver told us he would take us to a "waterfall". He then proceeded to take us to a really dirty river with a bunch of Thai people sitting around. Although there was no waterfall we were thrilled by what we saw. We instantly got our hands on some tubes & hopped in the water. We had seen one group of guys go down the river and decided that we should give it a whirl as well. No questions asked. Lets just say it was one of the funniest experiences of my life. It was the rockiest & sketchiest thing. A few of us flew off our tube and trust me it was painful. Liz was a straight rag doll in the water & looks like she got in a fight with a cheese grader.
We were like celebrities for going down that thing. Everyone was taking pictures & laughing at us. A drunk guy even tried to come join us mid rapid. We may or may not have ran him over. We even made friends with some Thai folk who brought us food in the middle of the river. We also went down the rapids a few more times. Some attempts were more successful than others. It was one of my favorite things we've done since coming to Thailand. Long live that sketchy muddy river.
