City Tour part 1

City Tour Part 1

Travel around Mak Khaeng and Nongprajak Park

... suddenly, I fell for Udon Thani.

today I spent my first weekend with all of my Indonesian fellow students, buddies and some professors travel around Udon Thani. We went travel by city tour bus. it was different from common bus, the Bus didn't have windows or door, and the size was smaller than common bus. it was very unique.

first place we went by was Temple. I forgot it names, but the location of the temple was in Mak Khaeng, Udon Thani. Mak Khaeng was like the central city of Udon Thani. So, we went to some other place around Mak Khaeng at the same time. We saw ancient buildings, the governmental building, schools around Mak Khaeng, the markets, hospital, even the Mall. the building's architecture was quite the same in Indonesia, but few of the special buildings such as Governmental building and school was traditional thailand touchy. the schools mostly build from wood and the governmental place mixed with modern architecture and thai traditional building, and there always a huge posters with the Picture of their late 9th King in every corner of the place. It shows how much their sadness after they lost their precious King in october last year, they are still in the mourning year. 

Then, we went to Nongprajak Park. there were huge lake in the centre of the park. we took picture like one thousand times. Lol. the view was beautiful yet peaceful. Compared in Indonesia, the park is alwas filled by tons of people so we couldn't enjoy the view peacefullu, but in Nongprajak park, we could enjoy every single spot because there were not so many people. We could enjoy the view of the lake, and even saw some of the birds that flying around the park, the vibe was quite same with Europe.

The city tour ended in the middle of the day. we went back to our dorm to take a rest.

but...

the story did not end like that.

My buddies took me to walking street and cycling around Nongprajak Park. they said that Nongprajak park's sun set was beautiful. so I decided to join my buddies. we went to Nongprajak Park at 5 p.m. we went there by our buddies motorcycle. after we arrived in Nongprajak park, we rent a bicycle and tricycle. as promised, we finally saw the beautiful view of Nongprajak Park sun set. it was magnificent and made me speechless.

when the night came, we ended our cycling time, and rushed to go to Walking Street and looked for dinner.  we also bought some souvenirs for our family and friends in Indonesia. the prices were cheaper than some of Indonesia souvenirs. so we were lucky.
