Had a run out to Wat Phu Tok Today in the newly formed  Bueng Kan Province (with Tim and Sandy).   Wat Phu Tok is a Temple built on a rocky outcrop and consists of 7 levels built on Wooden Trestles or carved into the bedrock. Each level represents  level of enlightenment in the Buddhist religeon.

We went Via Ban Mueng,Kham Ta Kla and up to Si Wilai. At Si Wilai we turned left just before the Gold Shop and followed  the concrete road . There are signs at all the junctions but they are small, written in thai and difficult to spot. At Times the road was very Pot Holed making driving slow.

After Wat Phu Tok we headed North onto Highway 212 and followed the  Mekong  into Bueng kan for Lunch and a walk along the river front promenade. It is a lot smaller than Nong Khai but quieter and there were ample parking places along the riverside road.

We then returned continuing along Higway 212 to Pak Khat where we  turned right to So Phisai and on to Fao rai before returning to Ban Dung.
