Sukhothai West Zone: Wat Saphan Hin

Khun Thorh came to get me around 8.30am. My sightseeing goal for the day was to check out the monuments on the western section of the park. As he drove me there, I realized I made a good decision to split my sightseeing in this manner, as the western zone was some distance away and I would not have wanted to cycle there helmetless (the rental place didn't offer helmets) on a barely roadworthy single gear bike.

The first stop - Wat Saphan Hin - was the most spectacular. It features a long stone staircase (saphan = bridge) up a hill to a ruin with a standing Buddha. There were good views from the top too.
