Introduction
The School
The Bar
Uthumphon Phisai is about 500 km east of Bangkok, between Surin and Si Saket.
Not a place to go without a very good reason.
No hotels, just a few restaurants, at 8 o'clock almost everybody is asleep.
We went there two times. Phranom, one of Pia's sisters, was teaching at a primary school,
and she thought we would like it in Uthumphon Phisai.
And we certainly did.
In Uthumphon there is not much to see or to do.
A very fine Khmer ruin within the compound of the local wat, Prasat Hin Wat Sa
Kamphaeng Yai,
it's certainly worth a visit, but after that…..
The surrounding is very beautiful, but you need a car to see anything.
Trips to the Mekhong with old prehistoric colour paintings on the steep rocks,
a border crossing to Laos, Khao Phra Wihaan on the Kampuchea border, everything is
interesting to see.
