There's been a lot written about this place and no wonder. I had prepared by reading the story of the monk who designed and worked on it building up followers and community support. The result is about 200 statues that give an original perspective on Buddhism, Hinduism and life. The great mother features also. The statues are sometimes humourous, reverential, philisophical or practical. Some teach a lesson. For instance near the entry is an elephant pressing forward with about 100 small dogs yapping at him. The lesson don't lose your purpose by listening to gossip and negativity. A cartoon in stone. The long inscriptions are all in Thai so maybe a Thai friend can translate for you or read in advance for a deeper understanding. Enter the eternal mother's womb and receive a panaroma of couplehood and parenthood. Stunning, entertaining, thought-provoking, calming and spiritual. How's that for a package? A modest 40 baht entry for non-Thais who pay 10 baht. I'd gladly pay 400 baht same as a national park. I'm sure it just pays for upkeep and gardening.

The Nong-Khai city hall must have paid a lot to make the new promenade along the banks of the Mekhong river beautiful decorated with hundreds of green and golden "Dragon Lamposts" and intricate bricklaying so you can sit there in the evening restaurant's and enjoy the sundown over the Friendship bridge, in a few months the whole place will host the Mekong river race for very fast speedboats and water scooters. SOOOO COOL.

Beautiful temple where you can see reclining Buddha statue, and participate in a holy religious ceremony. Very interesting to see the architecture. The temple is located in a big area in front of Grand Palace. To reach this temple, you need to take BTS to Saphan Taksin station, and continue with hop hop boat (first buy the ticket of THB 60.00 per way) to reach Wat Arun. From Wat Arun, you need to buy another boat ticket of THB 4.00. The entrance fee to this temple is THB 200.00.

You need to but a bus ticket to cross the bridge. Grab your passport with double check in from THAI to LAOS. The bus will wait for you until you got a stamp.
10. Wat Si Sumang
