From Udon Thani it was a long ride of nearly 200km to Sakhon Nakhon and in between I had one sightseeing stop which was the archaeological museum and site of Ban Chiang town. It was interesting to see that it was once of the important archaeological find for advance civilization during the early history period in South East Asia.
Mostly the remains of bronze and pottery works were on display and some human bones with many interesting information along the way. Without knowing I spend nearly an hour inside the museum.
I reached Sakhon Nahkon easily after the stop in Ban Chiang Town riding slow and just going into a daze observing the simple bland countryside of Isaan. Once at Sakhon Nakhon I had to ask around from one hotel to another the price for there was no information on the net but finally found a nice cosy family hotel and checked in for 300 baht a night.
Nothing much to do really at this small town by the lake, though i did managed to spend two night chilling and spending most of the time walking around town catching Pokemon. By accident wondered to the square small lake beside the big lake during one evening and saw a small part of authentic Thailand.
The locals were all there doing a jog or walk round and round the park. Communities of all age from the elderly taking a slow walk to the middle age aunt with their brisk walks to young joggers and athlete sprinting away and kids doing runs with their grandparents. It was peaceful and in some part without thinking i went for a round as well observing the local simple life. It took me 30 minutes to complete the circuit walking
