We spent 2 days in the far Northeastern city of Ubon Ratchathani relaxing and resting. There, we found our favorite sticky rice with mango combo! It was heavenly…
There wasn’t much to do in Ubon - just a big concrete city that lacked much character, unlike Bangkok.
On Wednesday, we rode on a train for 6 hours to our next big N.E. Thailand city, Khorat.
Khorat & Phimai: May 7th-8th
The main attraction to staying in this city was the nearby town of Phimai, an ancient city with a series of wats dating back pre-Angkor Wat.
In Phimai, we explored the main ancient Wat site which contained a series of pagodas, galleries and courtyards. Following our wat exploration, we enjoyed walking through the evening market eating plenty of fresh mangosteens, mangoes with sticky rice, pad thai and Thai granola.
Back in Khorat later in the evening, we walked to the Night Bazaar and had Chinese noodles w/BBQ pork on a nearby street - the most tasty Chinese noodles we’ve had thus far throughout S.E. Asia!
We would return to Bangkok on the 9th to visit Liya’s relatives.
