Ok, so last Saturday I had quite the wat sightseeing adventure. I spent the morning reading my Lets Go guide book and spent some time with my head buried in a map plotting out my journey. (I've got a bike as my mode of transport!) First, I rode about 15 minutes to the Indo-china market. While I was not in the least big tempted to purchase a roasted duck, plastic toy gun, or paper umbrella, I was able to get the feel the bustle of Asian markets. From there I rode around visiting a handful of wats (there are more per capita in nongkhai than anywhere in thailand). Its basically impossible to be biking for more than 7 min before seeing one. I then rode about 20 more minutes along the Mekong River to a place where a special chedi receded into the river. However, it can only be seen during the dry season....
On my ride home, I stopped to pick up some delicious pineapple, (I have mostly just been buying my food off of the street), ate it at a great park, went home, made myself a pb+j, and slept for 2 hours straight. It is HOT, HOT, HOT here and all that touring can really do you in.
