This trip invites those who love merit, superstition, and Naga psychic to escape to Nakhon Phanom Province. Let's make merit at "Wat Maruk Nakhon", another old temple and a temple that Naga psychic should not miss. When you come in today, let's go to Wat Phra first. This place is a replica of Phra That Phanom, but women can enter here. The Buddha image inside is very beautiful. After praying, let's ask for blessings from the Naga. Here, you can make a request, no need to make a vow. If anyone comes to Nakhon Phanom, I recommend this temple. #Go to the temple to make merit

Last month, my boyfriend visited Nakhon Phanom, so I took him to pay homage to the chedi for his birthday on Wednesday night. The inside of the chedi was very beautiful, but the picture was taken on another computer, so I didn't post it. I recommend coming here because in front of the temple, there is a statue of the Naga that Mor Lak once came to pay homage to. Wat Maruk Khanakhon is considered another old temple and is also very sacred. Before reaching Nakhon Phanom city, the temple will be on the left hand side, right next to the road. It's not hard to notice.

A newly opened minimalist style cafe is a small shop, but outside the shop there is a place to take pictures and a fairly wide parking lot... The taste of the coffee is acceptable. We ordered an Americano Orange... We give it 3 stars, but we have to try the other menus again. We recommend that if you pass by That Phanom, stop by and take pictures. But we can't explain the directions, but the shop has a sign on the That Phanom to Nakhon Phanom route. #Newly opened cafe

#Let'sGoToAsia I tried Kuay Teow at Mae Boon Mee, a local restaurant I found in Thailand! The noodles are smooth like pho, and the refreshing soup with a hint of lemon tartness is addictively delicious! And even though it's surprisingly cheap per bowl, it's also very filling and very satisfying! I once again realized that eating food loved by locals like this is one of the best parts of traveling! Basic information about the place ・Name: Guay Tiew Moo Manao Mae Boonmee ・Location: Bangkok city (stores in some locations) ・Features: A local restaurant where you can enjoy the classic Thai noodle dish "Kuay Teow (pork and lime noodles)" ・Price range: Very reasonable (around 40-50 baht per bowl) Tried Kuay Teow Moo Manao (Thai pork noodles with lime) at a local spot called Mae Boonmee in Bangkok! The noodles were soft like Vietnamese pho, and the tangy, refreshing soup made it super addicting. Best part? It was super affordable and surprisingly filling! These kinds of local eateries are what make traveling in Thailand so fun and flavorful!
