Over Thai Mother’s Day weekend, I went on a bpai tiao to Nong Khai. The bus ride there passes through Udon Thai, where there is a small village that is well-known for its textiles. Of course, my friend Jill and I had to stop and check it out. There were so many gorgeous fabrics, particularly the traditional kidt and mut mee styles. Check it out!
In Thailand, a bpai tiao is a trip of any length. I’ve written about some of my more significant bpai tiaos to tourist destinations here, to be used as travel ideas and tips.
As I posted on Tuesday, last weekend was a long weekend because it was the queen’s birthday which is observed as Mother’s Day. My friend Jill invited me along to visit Nong Khai, the Thailand side of the Mekong River opposite the first Thailand-Laos Friendship Bridge of Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
