Went for a Day out to Nong Khai today with Les and Sandy. We went first for a walk along the promenade for a view of the Mekong which is currently at a 20 year low due to a short rainy season last year. Then we went for something to eat at one of the many riverside restaraunts before walking back through the market stalls .

From there we went 4k up the road to Sala Kaew Ku sculpture park  which is a park featuring giant fantastic  concrete  sculptures inspired by a mixture of Buddhism  and Hinduism. Some of the  sculptures tower up to 25m in the sky. Those include a depiction of Buddha meditating under the protection of a seven-headed Naga snake.
