Sukhothai -- "Rising of Happiness"

During the conscientious leg of the trip, we visited Sukhothai. According to our trusty Lonely Planet guide, Sukhothai is/was: one of Thailand's most impressive World Heritage sites, the first capital of Siam, built during the 13th century, marked the "golden age" of Thai civilization, occupied by a dynasty of nine kings spanning 200 years, features ~45 sq. km. of ruins ... many of which we criss-crossed on our rented bicycles. We enjoyed our day in Sukhothai (although we still haven't figured out how to use our digital camera, so check out these real photographs).
