Nong Khai

We're now in Nong Khai. This is where we'll jump off from to cross into Laos. And we just can't get enough of the tuk tuks here! This one below is a little different than the rest we've seen, so we had to capture it with a picture. We might bring one home with us...

And this is how my day started out. I got a ticket! We weren't sure at first what it was for, driving the wrong way on a one way, or not wearing a helmet, cause I was guilty of both. In the end we figured it was the lack of a helmet (Jillene wants everyone to know she had hers on). We suppose it is only fair though, I've already gotten away twice, the last time was just yesterday when I knowingly went around a barricade to make an illegal right hand turn right in front of a cop. Because he didn't speak any english and I was playing stupid, he ended up just getting frustrated and letting us go. In the end todays ticket cost me a whopping $6.60Cdn.

After the circus of paying the ticket and getting my ID back we headed to a cool sculpture park Salakaewku in Nong Khai. It is quite amazing. You can see for yourself.



Well thats all for us. Next we're heading to Laos, so you may hear from us there. Take care everyone.
