We'd booked a bike tour for Tuesday mostly because it had such good reviews on TripAdvisor. Our guide, nicknamed Miaow because her Mum liked cats!, made it a really enjoyable day. She brought along homemade snacks (always a way to my heart!), took us for lunch at a local market (veggie stir fry, chicken and a papaya salad) and stopped off in villages on the way to the temple park. In one of the villages we met a lady who makes charcoal to sell as a way of making a bit extra and visited a cooperative furniture factory for a peak at their work - some intricate Sukothai designs on them including a flower and trailing leaves. We cycled along the edge of rice, veg fields and canals and felt like we'd had a good workout once we got back to the hotel.
