Thread: North East Thailand road trip December 2014

Right opposite the little restaurant was this local Wat so off we go for a look see, love the extensive use of wood in these old buildings.

This turned out to be where the monks hung out and the brand new Wat was in the back ground. love the wood in this building.

This was real old, good contrast between the brand new Wat and the old Look out.

Check the wood work out in this. Stunning stuff.

Inside the new Wat, real nice. They are still adding the finishing touches to this new Wat.

So its was good by to Jim's town and onto the Ruins. After the ruins it was on to " Noodle's Town" of Kantharalak for the night. The ruins were pre programed into my GPS so just pushed the button and followed the lady inside the Machine. After my hand bag she turned out to be my second best mate. Love my GPS.

On we Go.

Yes well, just dodge the barbed wire that is everywhere along the road.

One cant even walk up the path to the mountain side, must go back through the car park. The Thais are a tad antsy about this area. Bit close to the Cambodian border for there liking. Must keep the Tourists from straying I suppose.

If one is expecting a grand Temple experience one will be very disappointed. Coming here is all about the stunning scenery and views over the plain into Cambodia.

Nice up here on the cliff.

One is on the top of the mountain here with blinding views, come later in the day for the best views.

Alright innit.

This guy was doing a nice business taking pics for the natives.

This guy was doing OK as well.

The Army boys are a Tad nervous up here and have bunkers everywhere.I think there has been a few blues in the past.

I liked this one.

Monks havin a crack.

thanks for such a super thread!... green sent.

Need plenty of razor wire to keep those pesky Cambodians out EH.

So if one wants to view the ruins one must line up behind this monk to get a crack at the binoculars provided.
