We took our rented car out of Khonkaen and down to the village of Sabua in Muang Phon.  As you can see, it was barely large enough for me to sit in.

We are pleased to bring you this series on our recent trip to Thailand and Laos!

We parked our car in one of those parking lots near the airport, and took a shuttle bus to the airport terminal.

Hui-chen and I just returned from an 11 day trip to Thailand and Laos.  It was a fantastic trip that we shared with bloggers Michael Turton and Michael Cannon.  We’ll be bringing you many articles in this new series and hopefully give you an idea of what it’s like to travel with us to these exotic destinations.

We look forward to your comments on this upcoming series!

Photos by MJ Klein  Warning: FOOD PHOTOS!

As you may recall from our last trip to Thailand, we showed you this area where you can find lots of street food:

This time we’re going to visit each and every food stall and show you they’re preparing.

Hui-chen and I love to shop, and when we travel we love to shop even more!  We’ll show you one of our favorite shops and what you can expect to find there.

But, we have to get there first.  We’ll take a walk and look at the shops along the way.

Khonkaen has a market that is not visible from any street.  If you don’t know where this market is, you may never end up visiting it.

The Hidden Market is found between blocks, in an area between the buildings.  I had been to Khonkaen a dozen times before I stumbled across it.

We visited our friend Peter who is living outside of Khonkaen city, in a small village to the north.  We took a tuk-tuk from Khonkaen to the village which is about 10 KM away.

Hui-chen and I took the bus from Khonkaen down to Muang Phon, were our friend Mr. Somkhit (introduced in this article) has his factory.  On the way down our bus was pulled over by Thai Highway Police.  This shot, taken through the windshield of the bus, shows the bus driver returning to the bus.  As far as I can tell, no fine or warning was issued.  Apparently the Highway Police needed to inform the driver of something, but I do not know what.

As you probably know by now, Hui-chen and I went back to Thailand for a quick business trip.  Of course, we took lots of photos and will present you with several new articles about our travels there.  This first article is about street scenes in the city of Khonkaen, deep in the heart of Isaan country.

We stayed at the Tamarind Residences as we have many times before.  Not much has changed since our last visit there.

On our last day in Thailand, we got up very early in the morning to catch the first flight out of Khonkaen to Bangkok.  We had to take a cab from the old airport, which is now the domestic airport, to the new airport – the one with the unpronouncable name.

This is the departure level at Bangkok’s international airport.  We were getting ready to check in when we ran across this interesting service:
