Full of Eastern Promise

On the Road

Emboldened by our gradually improving stumblings in Thai, we decide to explore the less-touristed North Eastern region of the country. Hiring a car and following our noses, we initially get distracted by the wine region around Khao Yai for a few days, delighting in the hilly scenery, fresh air, and vineyard tours. Venturing further East, we discover Angkor-era temples and fortresses, go for a trek in the jungle, and dodge the Khmer Rouge minefields along the Cambodian border.
