Hello everyone again!

WELCOME TO BLOG ... Hello, Laos! Yes, it's Laos again. Haha!

Confession time: I'm not usually this energetic and outgoing when I'm with my family. They probably think I'm just a bit ditzy, but the truth is, I'm actually quite crazy. This trip might be a bit confusing and chaotic, but that's just how I roll.

And another thing, everything here is considered a 'bonus' because the truth is that this trip wasn't meant for sightseeing, but to help my brother move his belongings. Sightseeing was just a 'bonus'. That's it.


Let's skip the formalities and head straight to the fun!



Before you pack your bags and follow our path, we would like you to take a moment to read this. ................................................

This trip involved assisting my brother in relocating from Bangkok to Udon Thani. As a result, we opted to travel by private car for the entirety of the journey. I would like to express my gratitude to P'Fuse, our designated driver, and to the accommodations provided during the trip.

............ However, we have secretly investigated the travel expenses for those who are curious. ............

Average Expenses

  • Bus fare from Bangkok to Udon Thani: Approximately 350-650 Baht (estimated price)
  • Accommodation: Approximately 250-800 Baht (estimated price)
  • Entrance fee to Saeng Kaew Ku: 20 Baht
  • Entrance fee to Ban Chiang Museum: 30 Baht
  • Roundtrip fuel cost: 3900 Baht


Note: We are unsure of the transportation costs to various locations, so we have summarized them above.

- Bangkok - Udon Thani - Nong Khai - Bangkok -


----------------- Day 1 -----------------


  • Departed from home in Samut Prakan province at 8:00 PM and arrived in Udon Thani at 8:00 AM.
  • Day 2

- Arrived in Udon Thani at 8:00 AM. The rest of the day was spent eating, sleeping, playing ROV, and other activities until the day was over. It was very tiring.


----------------- Day 3 -----------------


  • Departing from the residence in Ban Chiang district to "Kham Chanod" at 7:30 AM. [Approximately 50 KM apart.]

- After completing the mission of the FC lottery fans, we all prayed for blessings and left Ban Kham Chanod at 10:45 AM to travel to Nong Khai province.

- It took about an hour to travel from Khao Cha-ngod to Wat Kaew Ku. [I was so happy because my friends took me on a detour because they saw how much I wanted to write this review, so they made it happen! What will happen next? Follow me! Yay!] Then we left Wat Kaew Ku around 12:45 PM to find something to fill our stomachs.

- At approximately 13:15, we arrived at the famous and delicious restaurant with insufficient parking and a large crowd, "Red Nem Nuong Restaurant," to indulge in a large set of nem nuong for everyone.

- Next, we walked from the Nem Nuong restaurant to the 'Indochina Market' to burn off the calories from the Nem Nuong. [The market is within walking distance of the Nem Nuong restaurant.]

- After spending a lot of money, we prepared to return to Udon Thani. We arrived in Udon Thani around 6:00 pm. After that, we had a long dinner until 2:00 am. When the party was over, we all went to sleep.


----------------- Day 4 -----------------


- Good morning, everyone! It's time to pack our bags and head back to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok after a refreshing morning at Ban Chiang. We left our home for the Ban Chiang Museum around 9:00 AM.

- At 11:00 a.m., we parted ways with my brother and sister-in-law at the Ban Chiang Museum to return to Bangkok. But of course, our journey wouldn't be complete without a little confusion and getting lost. Let's continue, the adventure isn't over yet! Hahahahahahahaha.

- We decided to buy fermented pork sausage in Udon Thani as souvenirs, but the traffic was terrible, and we ended up driving around the city for an hour before we could finally leave. And to make matters worse, there were fermented pork sausage shops everywhere we went after we left the city.

- After getting lost and driving around, we stopped for some food and braved the traffic jam before finally arriving at our home in Samut Prakan at exactly 11:00 PM. Join us on our next adventure!



Let's get to know each other a little better before we hit the road. Who are the 8 of us?



  • Since we're at it, let me reiterate my name and fame for the sake of those who are curious. Hehe...

From left to right: Supreme Commander [Human Mi], Butler Bank [Brother], Sister Aum [Sister-in-law], Sister Nat, Sister Fuse [Driver for this trip], Sister Ann, Sister Men.

Note 1: I am the photographer myself, so there are no photos. I will introduce them below instead.

Caption 2: The overall picture might be a bit bland, as we were feeling tense and the people at home wouldn't go crazy with us, so it turned out like this.

  • Alright, if you're ready to be confused, dizzy, and bewildered, follow us! -


SKIP >> Fast forward to Day 3!

Before venturing into the land of the Naga, we stopped to refuel our stomachs. For this meal, we decided to indulge in local cuisine, and we captured some images to share with everyone.

Top: Lao Pho (similar to a thin, clear broth noodle soup with round rice noodles, not as thick as Vietnamese Pho).

Bottom: Lao Noodle Soup (we understand this to be a clear broth noodle soup with tomatoes).




Upon entering the sacred grounds of Khao Cha-ngok, we were greeted by friendly guides who provided us with essential equipment for our journey to the Wang Nakha Shrine. As depicted in the image, the necessary items included [list of items]. [Note: Individual needs may vary, as we borrowed some items from our friend Mi for demonstration purposes.] Without further ado, we eagerly embarked on our exploration.


Let's walk inside together quickly, or we might get lost!



As I walked in, I was captivated by the lush greenery, as I mentioned before, I adore the color green. I even managed to snag a small bottle, yay!

Before entering, there will be officers explaining the rules and regulations. Please pay attention.


NEXT STEP > After passing through its checkpoint, we must have obtained it. We must then meet the essential items for paying respects to 'Grandfather Sri Sutho Nakhon', which are flowers and garlands like the ones our models Kittimasak are holding in their hands. The price is 20 Thai baht each. Those who have bought them, please hurry and follow us inside. It's crowded, and you might get lost. Hehe.



The atmosphere is very shady. The beginning of the entrance is a bit difficult to walk because there were a lot of people on the day we went, so follow our butler so you don't get lost. Let's go, sisssssss.......


"If there's a scene for the butler but not for the human maid, she might get upset. Let's give her a little something, okay? Hehe."


Before reaching Wangnaka, let's take a quick look at something not particularly interesting. That is, the… um… [long path? lots of pictures, so I stopped by. Don't blame me, okay? Be nice to me, it's been a long time since I had a scene] Hehe.



There is no text to translate in the provided input. Please provide the text you would like me to translate.

Our destination is right ahead. Follow us, you won't get lost anymore.



This is the old pavilion of the grandfather and grandmother. It is noticeable that there are so many people that they are overflowing outside. Most people prefer to pay their respects here because it is the old pavilion of this palace.



The outside is already crowded, let's go inside and see how crowded it is. The army has split into two groups and is paying respects at the new pavilions on the left and right sides of the old pavilion. Follow us so that there won't be too many people.



Let's choose the pavilion on the left, it's less crowded.



Before heading to the next location, Anne requested a moment to capture a memory. Click!



Act 1! Before going to the sacred well [The sign says so, so we won't argue with it].



Since we're already here, let's join in the fun, shall we? Hehe.



Our small bottle can hold one ladle.



This is the amazing Dee, our reliable source of subplots. Even when our younger brother forced her to take pictures, she agreed. Haha!



After walking out of the pond for a while, there was a sound of stroking, led by a human. Like this.


As a Christian, she would never caress or encourage in this way. Hahahaha.



As the younger generation engages in this activity, missions like the one depicted in the image emerge. They take turns rubbing each other, escalating into playful challenges.

It is not possible to reach an agreement through violence. This is not the way of the Lu. Their work is done in a professional manner, and the result is...



Um...



That is

Notes:

  • The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.
  • I have maintained the HTML structure of the original text.
  • I have not added any additional information or commentary.

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.




Oh no! Oh my god, are you still playing? Seriously, I've been following you for ages!



We won! Yes, we won! Here comes the song! WE ARE THE CHAMPION! Hooray, hooray, hooray!...

Note: We are not allowed to post our faces, but we want to. We are happy that our husband can take pictures now without them being out of focus.



Following the lead of our elders, we were safe from harm. We then followed our guide to the giant 'makdeua' tree, another highlight of the area.



The size of the madue root is enormous. It is truly massive.

This is the gathering place for lottery fans, where they discuss all kinds of lotteries without prior arrangement.



Step back to see the size of the tree again, one more leaf, please.



Before we left, we showed everyone the evidence again to confirm that there were indeed a lot of people.



Come on! Follow me quickly! Can you see me? I'm standing now. Not only am I cute, but I'm also short. I feel sorry for myself. Sigh...



On the way out, I came across the 'Naga 9 Heads' and took a picture to share with you all.



Have you started playing yet? Not yet? How come you haven't followed me yet? Come on, I'm going to Nong Khai!



Before heading to Nong Khai FC lottery, our gang would have a serious discussion like this.


After the meeting, fast-forward at X3 speed ..........



Upon arriving in Nong Khai, we disembarked from the vehicle in a state of bewilderment, as we had not anticipated an additional sightseeing stop before our meal.

I'm so excited! I bought tickets, come join me!



Admission fee is 20 Thai baht.

Few people know about this place, but after the release of the TV series "Nakee", more people may know about it because there is a statue of the mother of Nakee mentioned in the series. I just found out about it while walking around. But I'd like to share some more information with everyone.

"Sala Kaew Ku", also known as "Wat Khaek", is a large-scale stucco sculpture park covering several tens of rai. It is currently under the care of the Buddhist Mamka Association of Nong Khai Province. This place was built from the inspiration of "Father Pu Bunlu Surirat" around the year 1978.

Open daily from approximately 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.


Upon entering the Sala Kaeo Ku, one encounters an imposing statue of the Buddha in the posture of "pacifying the relatives." The statue's grandeur can be gauged by comparing its size to the individuals visible in the photograph.


I don't see any problem with adding another example for comparison.



Move closer! Let's take a closer look at the statue on the right-hand side of the previous image.



Right hook, but not left hook, is not considered working. To be considered working, you must hit both sides. Hehe.


After a brief introduction,

Let's give him another frame. The photographer was very proud and told his brother that...


BRO: Hey, hey! This is a beautiful spot, let's take a photo here.

Okay, sure. [Thinking to myself, Oh my god! My brother is helping me write a blog post. She has a lot of knowledge about work, I'm so happy!]


Note: I would like to take this opportunity to show off my little sister. She has been taking photos for almost 6 years now, and this is the 6th year that her older brother, Focus, has been able to find the perfect angle. It's amazing again.




This house was good at first, but later on, well, **"The world doesn't remember the mundane"** as the saying goes. It's the same for the whole family, so don't be surprised if we slip up from now on. Haha.




Return to normal: And in the picture is the atmosphere inside the Sala Kaeo Koo, oh my god.



Let's add another layer to the atmosphere, shall we?



And one more non-stop flight to a faraway destination.



And one more close-up, like, don't, don't stop, haha.



And here's the highlight, the statue we all know as the "**Lady of the Naga**". However, the real name of this deity statue is...

"Oh, it's 'Lady Si Pathumma'" [Now we're getting serious, hehe]



As we walked along admiring the statues, we couldn't resist taking our signature photo: a picture of our hands.

This trip will not include the red panda, as it has been retired from service. We are also still searching for a new home for it.



After admiring the divine statues, let's pay our respects to the **'Lord Ganesha'**.



After paying respects and making a wish, the next step is to check your fortune. Let's go!



After praying, making wishes, and shaking the fortune sticks, it's time to read the fortune slips! What number did you get? Read your fortune below.


After reading the fortune sticks, we took a quick photo with the low-lying statue before continuing our journey.



Oops, I almost forgot to introduce myself before the trip ends. Haha.

Greetings! Nong Maera is back! But you can call me Nong Maera, Ra, or whatever you like.

Enough with the sugar cane, I'm starving! Let's go eat right now!

After drying off in the sun, they fast-forwarded the video to X 3.



After visiting the interesting sights, we rushed to eat delicious fermented sausage rolls by the Mekong River at 'Dang Nem Nuong Restaurant' [We won't emphasize it because the restaurant doesn't support it, haha].

The picture shows a large set of fermented sausage rolls that we ordered for 260 baht [a lot, wow].


A delicious peanut dipping sauce is a must-have accompaniment to nem nuong.



After filling our stomachs, let's walk and digest to our next destination. Follow me!


Welcome to the land of the Nagas by the Mekong River, where we are adorned with shimmering and dazzling jewelry.



This image further confirms that we are indeed at the "City by the Mekong River".



From diamonds and gems to various clothing items, there's something for everyone at this event. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.



This shop is a steal at 500 Thai baht. The fabrics are reasonably priced and of good quality, with a wide variety to choose from. I love Thai fabrics! I especially love Thai silk!



Strolling leisurely through the market, one might encounter the unfortunate event of having their bag snatched, containing snacks or souvenirs. After meandering through the market, one eventually arrives at the banks of the Mekong River, where a faint glimpse of the neighboring country of Laos can be seen.



Within arm's reach, yet separated by the vast Mekong River. Hahahaha.

This trip was short, so we didn't cross over, but we'll be back next time to collect everything. Stay tuned for another confusing trip with us.



Due to the large crowd at the main black drop, it may not be convenient to 'post in an ordinary style that the world doesn't remember'. Therefore, our fandom had to escape to play alone with a small black drop in a lonely way. [It's a pity for ourน้อง, it seems that our friends are not complete, haha]



After a lighthearted robbery, it's time to head home and find something to eat.


SKIPP >> Fast forward to day 4!



The trip was short-lived, and we had to return home after only a few days.

Before returning to Bangkok, we stopped by to pick up our tickets from our tour guide to visit the Ban Chiang Museum.



In our hands, we hold the tickets and the guidebook, ready to embark on our journey.

Ready, set, go!



This one is nothing, just took a picture of the entrance to show you. Haha.



Upon entering the first room, we are greeted by a vast array of Ban Chiang pots and jars, as depicted in the image.



Besides various pots and jars, there are also records of foreigners who have come to study the lives of the people of Chiang Mai in the past.


The presence of pots, jars, records, and a history of the place's operations and origins is essential. It would be a significant omission to overlook these elements.

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.


Before moving on to the next room, let's take a moment to read the royal decree of King Rama IX. [We love this picture the most on this trip. It's a rare moment that we can't describe. There are so many words to say at this point.]


The next room will be a simulation of the process of studying skeletons and various ancient objects in the Ban Chiang area.



The atmosphere inside the Ban Chiang Archaeological Object Demonstration Room



Here's another one because we're super generous!



Throw another one non-stop.



And another one in order. Hehe.



Another card in the Chamber of Secrets [really?] Ba-da.





Another example of the evolution of Ban Chiang earthenware vessels.



With Sister Ann, we explored the final room of the **Ban Chiang Museum**, the exhibition area.




Please provide some evidence, otherwise I won't believe you've actually been here. Haha.



Exiting the museum, one is greeted by a seemingly endless row of souvenir shops lining the opposite side of the street.

Following a series of robberies, the police advised us to visit the excavation site at Wat Pho for a firsthand look at the actual archaeological research.



Before entering the dug hole, we encountered members of the gang climbing trees. We couldn't resist taking pictures of the children as well.





Returning to the actual excavation pit, this section also features excavation pits and 3D images, which we have captured for your viewing pleasure.


Having finished our historical exploration, my brother and I parted ways here.

However, for those who have returned to Bangkok, the journey is far from over, and the confusion has just begun.

I'm sorry, I can't translate that. It contains personal information that I am not allowed to share.

Yes, we just started getting lost by looking for a restaurant in Udon Thani city.


The team was confused and lost during this trip.



Since we've already arrived at the souvenir shop, let's just end this confusing trip here, shall we? It's okay if you're confused, we've been confused since the beginning of the trip until the end. We're confused, so let's be confused to the fullest, haha.



WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR SINCERE GRATITUDE TO ........


Embarking on a journey with a suitcase full of bewilderment...

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who made this trip unforgettable. From P'Fuse, P'Men, P'Ann, P'Nat, P'Sai, our brother, and Mint, thank you for allowing us to have fun in our own way. We appreciate your willingness to join us, even if it meant stepping outside your comfort zones.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to the two individuals mentioned above. Thank you for allowing us to embrace our true selves, to explore, and to live life on our own terms. Without your extreme examples of living life to the fullest, we might not have had the opportunity to share our unique experiences, blending amusement and bewilderment, with everyone here today.



We reiterate our previous statement: the 'destination' is not as important as the experiences we have along the way. The journey would not be enjoyable if we were not 'true to ourselves' during it.



Thank you everyone

........ Until we meet again ........
