Leaving Udon Thani heading to Bangkok
the Thai King has his picture posted not only on walls in EVERY single building in Thailand, but there are monuments by the bijillions and life size posters of His Majesty at practically every corner. He is Highly revered and in fact you will be jailed for defaming his picture or speaking ill of him. The Thai worship HRM.
a lovely temple going up on our way down.. very ornate.
We cant figure it out, but on the streets of Thailand there will be sections of the road that for mile stretches have mini stands selling random items. The thing is, EVERY stand sells the SAME thing...our dilemma is always 'geez, which one do we stop at?'... normally we stop at the one with the most little kids dancing in front of their stand.
This was the first time we had seen weiner dogs flapping outside in the dust. (eww!) 
Chok Chai! Good friends traveling
with us mentioned a Hamburger joint on the way down and said we HAD to stop... which of course we did and loved having a good American type hamb again!~

the LONG stretch of bamboo sticky rice...
the LONG stretch of fruit
What a wonderful place to live! Can you imagine sitting out on the freeway all day selling fruit, sausages, rice or any number of other foods to travelers? And no crossword puzzles to keep you intertained! Just weird quizzical foreigners! hehe
