We decided to do the town today by bicycle, the hotel has complimentary ones. We went first of all to Ock Pop Tok an ethical weaving centre 2 k’s out of town. Delightful spot beside the river. They weave from silk and cotton at the centre and also supply the villages with the raw materials for them to it themselves. All proceeds pay the weavers and spread the work to even more villages.
Cycled back into town and had liquid plus stir fried lunch. On to the royal Palace which used to be the residence of the Royal Family but is now a museum. Also in the grounds there is a beautiful temple like building that houses the LP Buddha’s carriage. Hot day cycling so back for the daily dunk. Went to a restaurant called the 3 Nagas in the evening.
