udon thani museum

[pomeloseed]

nice pics, thanks. Would like to see some evidence from farther back, t hough - would it be paleolithic? ....and it's all about people - what about flora and her brother fauna?

I've thought of setting up a small eco center up here where I'm based in Chiang Rai. It would be geared toward schoolkid visits, and include murals which depict what the landscape looked like at different stages in the past: For example: 100 years ago, then 10,000 yrs, then 1 million, then 65 million (dinosaurs), etc.

Luckily the mods on here are not a bunch of do-gooding old farts like they are on Udon Map, so that ain't going to happen.

Sunsetter,

By taking and posting these pictures, you have given the impressions that farangs put themselves above the rules set by Thais. Such actions do not make life for us in the community any easier, and indeed, can easily destroy any goodwill painstakingly built up over the years.

If they take away my telephone the next time I visit the museum (or any museum in the country for that matter), I will know whom to thank.

Thanks for listening.

Lots of little bars around Nong Prajak Lake. I think there's a Seppo Lard Emporium in the NE corner of the lake area if you need some tucker as well.

A place called Bubba's Bar & Grill - take a look on UdonMap.com for it.

I reckon that whoever assembled these mannequins put both the heads on the wrong body.

Either that or Isaan people are mostly happily married transexuals ?

A trip to the museum, a few cold award winners and a visit to a lard emporium, sounds right up my alley
