Wat Kham Chanot part 1
The Wat is certainly nothing special for non-Buddhists - but since it gained its importance through a Naga allegedly living in the adjacent lake, the area has remained unspoilt.
For this reason, the island retains an exceptional and spectacular vegetation. Don't forget to take a couple of large plastic bottles so you can take your Thai family some 'holy' Nagawater!
Three days in NE Isaan - Part 1: Phu Tok
Access via the 227/222 Kalasin highway.
For three days I was traveling by bike in the far northeast of Isaan - quite a sparsely populated area, very scenic with still largely natural vegetation. An ideal place for eco-tourists and a wonderful spot for a cozy and tranquil biking trip on a comfortable chopper.

Wat Pha Sorn Kaew part 1
When I read 'The Wat is a unique and spectacular building, rivalling (link) Notre Dame in Paris, The Sistine Chapel in Rome and the Taj Mahal in India', then I can only say that I think it is ridiculous to compare such a new piece of art with those absolute highlights of human architecture!
