CampariO Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Day 1: stop in Chaiyaphum to visit famliy of Mrs. CO: A BBQ was planned for the evening, of course we had to buy some seafood in Pattaya for the village and the rest of Chaiyaphum 🙄 Preparation has started. The boys brought their catch of the day to the table: eel First batch: The kids were eating already..... 1
CampariO Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 Looks good Everything under control? 2 1
thegrogmonster Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks for posting and enjoy your trip. Bought this BBQ online that I will be taking up to the village next trip so I can do a bit of my own cooking.
CampariO Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Day 2: the buffalows were having breakfast already. We stayed last night at a new resort belonging to a small water park. Simple bungalows, not cheap at 600 Bt without breakfast. The matress felt like made from concrete. The journey to Ubon via road 24 was not exiting, ricefields everywhere, everything looked the same. Will take a different route on the way back. After checking in the hotel and a qick shower we headed to the Wat Phra That Nong Bua. Looked different from all the other temples.

Skalliwag Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Sweet action. Missus is from Ubon and we always take the 24 as well. Your Missus place looks pretty flash compared to mine. The money you’ve sent has been well spent.....compared to mine.🤦♂️🤦♂️ Loving the pics.
CampariO Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 We both like the temple very much. 1 1
CampariO Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 Next stop Wat Thung Si Muang. A small wooden temple, almost falling apart. No more than 5 people are allowed at one time to enter it. Not much to see inside other than bird droppings and some small buddha figurines. 1
CampariO Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 Time for dinner at the Mun river. After a quick search on the net our choice fell on the Chomjan Bar & Restaurant. 2
Popular Post CampariO Posted January 21, 2020 Author Popular Post Posted January 21, 2020 Food was excellent. 5 dishes, 3 rice and a tower of Federbräu was 1500 Bt. No back in the hotel and preparing tomorrows trip to the national parks. This is CampariO reporting live from Ubon Ratchathani. 😎 5 3

CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Day 3: Kaeng Tana National Park Entrance fee for Thais 20 Bt, car 50 Bt and Farang 200 Bt. No wonder that there are no tourists. 1
CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Two color river view point. The Mun river is joining the Mekong. Normally both have a diffeent colour which can be seen especially in April, but I heard that China is throttling the flow of the Mekong which as as consquence has now more clear water. Edited January 22, 2020 by CampariO
CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Didn't see many tourists in this area. Was a bit disappointed from the sights. Next stop: Wat Tham Khu Ha Sawan
CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) A chinese tour bus? No, just some Thai school kids wanted to be photographed. Edited January 22, 2020 by CampariO 2
CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) The Pha Team National Park features some cave paintings, estimated to be several thousand years old. Entrance for Thais 20 Bt, car 50 Bt and Farang 400. A bit greedy...... To see all the paintings one has to walk 5 km. Edited January 22, 2020 by CampariO 1
CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 I hate stairs....for 400 Bt I was expecting an elevator. The paintings: can you see the fish?
CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 The mushrooms are included in the entrance fee. The treck is only 3 km long. Hmm, maybe next time. 1
CampariO Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Sam phan bok. The best part of the trip. At first I thought it is not much different to lake Maprachan. Have to take a pickup truck for 200 Bt. 3
