Thailand Day 2 Mekong Valley Nov 2023

 Day 2

1 November 2023

The train arrived at Ubon Ratchathani Station early in the morning. From here, we took a tuk tuk to the bus terminal. We hopped onto a regular minibus for a 2 ride to Khong Chiam through rural eastern Thailand. Our accommodation was at Thosawan Resort, quiet place on the fringe of laid back Khong Chiam.





We walked around the town, nothing special or notable. The air was hot and humid and sweating is to be the normal experience here. 

Walking along the banks of River Mun and Mekong River, we enjoyed breeze and watching flowing water.





Two rivers meet at Khong Chiam. The Mekong water is normally muddy while the Mun River carries clearer water. Where the rivers meet, there are supposed to be two colours, blue and yellow. But it was not so as the water from the Mekong was not muddy at all this time.



Khong Chiam is a small town, nothing much to offer tourists other than providing that basic necessities. 








Today we engaged a car for the next day tour of Kaeng Tana Park.
