To paraphrase Dr Johnson, "When a person is tired of Udon Thani, they get the heck out of there".
And so we hot-footed it to the railway station, where we boarded local train 415 (3rd class) bound for Nong Khai.
After a surprisingly comfortable journey of around an hour, and exceptional value at a mere 25p per ticket, (Take note Northern Rail) we arrived in Nong Khai.
It's a pretty place (in places) cosying up to the bank of the now legendary Mighty Mekong.
Once unpacked, we set off for a stroll along the promenade (all 5k of it.......)
Still, there was a chedi at the end so that made it worth it, eh? ( it's not even the original one. That one was washed into the Mekong during a flood.....)
No matter, I took pics along the way and now, as is customary, you have to see them too.
Sorry......
