Bangkok to Ubon / Wat Pah Nanachat
Booked train ticket for Ubon yesterday. Will leave for a evening train and get to Ubon tomorrow morning. Ubon is known as the more traditional part of Thailand, where “religious life” and everyday life coincide, less modern and hurried than Bangkok. That will be a nice change of pace.
I was glad to choose the guesthouse where I’ve been currently staying the last four days. It is aways from Khao San and other main tourist areas. It is bussssy still nonetheless, but the house is located more in a neighborhood area than main busssssy tourist zone.
Today, I will be looking for white cotton cloth to offer to the monastics at Wat Nanachat. I don’t really know what I am looking for to tell you the truth, but I hope today, I will find it. Going in a little bit to train station, dropping bags off there, and then heading on the metro to a large open air weekend market. The “behemoths” of street markets as its known here in Bangkok.
Rained a bunch last night, heavy tropical thunderstorm rains. And then this morning, bright, sunny and humid like other days.
May it not rain while I’m out and about :-)
Safe travels and safe returns…
From Ubon, a town in Lao Pak Tse is close by…along with Siem Reap / Angkor Wat to the South a bit.
So many options!
And in the meantime, need to figure out the Nepal trip situation, getting visa, ticket, etc. May those details complete themselves with ease…
