Thakhek - Savannakhet - That Ing Hang - Pakse City Tour - Laos 13/18

Thakhek (Lao language: ທ່າແຂກ) is a town in south-central Laos on the Mekong River and facing Nakhon Phanom across the river in northeastern Thailand. It is the capital of Khammouane Province.

The city has many French colonial style official buildings, villas and shops. Western scientists first encountered the Laotian rock rat - kha-nyou (Laonastes aenigmamus) in Thakhek's market. Remnants of the abortive Thakhek - Tan Ap railway can be seen in and near the town. The railway would have run between Thakhek and Tân Ấp Railway Station, Quảng Bình Province, Vietnam through the Mụ Giạ Pass. In 1943, 85% of the population of Thakhek were Vietnamese due to French policy of encouraging Vietnamese immigrants to Laos.

Construction of the Third Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge, linking Thakhek to Nakhon Phanom, started in 2009 and was commemorated on 11/11/11

Savannakhet, officially named Kaysone Phomvihane (Lao: ໄກສອນ ພົມວິຫານ; Thai: ไกสอน พมวิหาน) and previously known as Khanthabouli (ຄັນທະບູລີ), is a city in western Laos and the capital of the Savannakhet Province. With a population of 120,000 (undated), it is the second-largest city in Laos, after Vientiane.

The city is the birthplace of Kaysone Phomvihane, the first leader of Laos from independence in 1975 to 1992, and was named after him in 2005. Although the old French colonial quarter of the town, along the Mekong River-front, is depressed and crumbling, the town's proximity to Thailand's booming economy has brought about new commercial development in the northern part of the town, near both the river crossing and the bus terminal.

Like all Lao cities, Savannakhet has a mixed population of Lao, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as minority peoples from the Lao interior. It has a large 15th-century Buddhist temple, Wat Sainyaphum, a Chinese temple, a Catholic church and a mosque.

The Second Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge over the Mekong connects to Mukdahan Province in Thailand.

Pakse, or Pakxe (French: Paksé; Laotian: ປາກເຊ [pȁːk séː] mouth of the river; Thai: ปากเซ), is the capital and most populous city of the southern Laotian province of Champasak, making it the second most populous city in Laos.

Located at the confluence of the Xe Don and Mekong Rivers, it has a population of about 88,000.
It also served as the capital of the Kingdom of Champasak until it was unified with the rest of Laos in 1946.

Which is the better of the two ways to get to Mukdahan from Bangkok by flight or by V.I.P bus?

The shuttle bus operated by the Air Asia from the airport of Nakhon Phanom to the River Front Hotel in Mukdahan, you don’t need to stay at the hotel and the service fee is included in the air ticket between Don Mueang and Nakhon Phanom, of which rate is about 1,000 Baht or 600 and something for promotion, compared with 622 Baht or 829 Baht of the V.I.P Bus fare (as of Apr. 2015), that looks reasonable, but I don’t think so, because… see the content

Of course, if you want to get there on the same day you land on Bangkok for a certain reason, flight might be better way, if you could transfer timely.

Nok Air has also a pick-up service between Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan, of which fare is a little bit more expensive than Air Asia as of Apr, 2015.

There are two classes on the V.I.P Bus, one is 622 Baht and the other is 829 Baht as of April, 2015, the difference depends on there being a tablet built in seat and on less six seats, that is to say, wider seat pitch, as far as I experienced, I don’t care about the difference of the pitch, and I don’t need the tablet with not being sensitive touch panel, above all I want to sleep without using it, therefore I recommend you 622 Baht one, but if you are a person taller than six feet, 829 Baht one might be better.

There are mainly two operators of V.I.P Bus between Bangkok and Mukdahan, one is popular as ‘999 (khaw khaw khaw)’ and the other is SAHAPHAN, I always use the latter for some reasons that ‘999’ gives food ticket at 20 Baht holding good in a certain drive-in I don’t need but Sahaphan doesn’t, but Sahaphan hands a box of snack you can eat as you want instead of that, and that the bus of Sahaphan is better – I can’t say about future because the rival may modify or replace – and that the difference of workers at ticket booths in Mukdahan being better or worse, the workers at the booth of ‘999’ are the same persons selling the ticket of the International bus between Laos and Thailand who gaff 5 Baht a ticket from Lao under cover of there being 45 Baht and 50 Baht depending on departure time and Laotian character not to claim.

The ticketing booth of Sahaphan at Mochit Bus Terminal in Bangkok is difficult to find, but easy if you know the number of the booth, which are No.21, 22, 31, 32, that is to say, there are four booths in the third floor.

Tempel Festival Wat Lao Noi in That Phanom - Thailand 4K Travel Channel

On the way to the Wat Phra That Phanom, we watch a fisherman fishing with its net in the canal. A sales booth next to the street sells Mekong Whiskey. It is a local Thai whiskey made from rice. Presumably, it has its name of the color, which resembles the mud of the Mekong.
As we drive through Phra Klang Thung, we notice people gathering at Wat Lao Noi and the nearby Wat Borom Hansa. We learn that we are celebrating a temple festival. When our guide asked whether we want to see it, we agree to it.
A small procession forms up. At its head walks a group of people, carrying arboreal arrangements with banknotes at the branches. Then follows the normal population, and finally a group of dancers with their own orchestra. A loudspeaker car takes care that the people hear the music from far away. The people seem to be in splendid a mood and have fun.
The dancers are normal housewives who have trained for their performance at the temple festival.
The procession walks three times around the Wat Lao Noi before the crowds gather at Wat Borom Hansa. The monks sit in front of the Buddha statues on the front face of the building, facing the money bushes and the believers.
There follow small devotions and short speeches. Of course, we do not understand a word.
Our guide asks us to place some money on the bushes, which we then also do (because of the good karma: -))
As we set off again, I can not keep back a provocative statement to our guide. I remark that it was somehow not quite clear, whether the monks pray to Buddha or whether they have adored the money bushes. The consequence was a devastating look in my direction. But after some minutes silence, he feels obliged to give us an explanation.
There are different types of convents (Wats) in Thailand. Some are self-managed and others are administered by the municipality. These two small Wats are administered by the municipality and the money is used according to a joint decision. Unfortunately, we do not know what the money is used for.

Auf dem Weg zum Wat Phra That Phanom beobachten wir einen Fischer, der mit dem Netz im Kanal fischt. An einem Verkaufsstand neben der Straße verkauft man Mekong Whiskey. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen lokalen Thai Whiskey, der aus Reis gemacht wird. Vermutlich hat er seinen Namen von der Farbe, die dem Schlamm des Mekong ähneln soll.
Als wir durch Phra Klang Thung fahren bemerken wir eine kleine Menschenmenge, die sich gerade beim Wat Lao Noi und dem daneben liegenden Wat Borom Hansa sammelt. Unser Führer erklärt uns, dass man ein Tempelfest feiert und ob wir es sehen wollen. Wir willigen ein.
Es formiert sich eine kleine Prozession, an deren Spitze eine Gruppe Menschen schreitet, die baumartige Gebinde tragen, an deren Ästen Geldscheine aufgespießt sind. Ihnen folgt die normale Bevölkerung und am Ende eine Gruppe mit Tänzerinnen, denen wiederum ein eigenes Orchester folgt. Ein Lautsprecherwagen sorgt dafür, dass die Musik weit hörbar ist. Die Menschen scheinen blendende Laune und Spaß zu haben.
Die Tänzer sind normale Hausfrauen, die für ihre Aufführung auf dem Tempelfestival trainiert haben.
Die Prozession umrundet drei mal das Wat Lao Noi, bevor sich die Menschenmenge im Wat Borom Hansa versammelt. An der Stirnseite des Gebäudes befinden sich einige Buddhastatuen, vor denen sich einige Mönche platziert haben. Davor die „Geldsträucher“ und die Gläubigen.
Es folgt eine kleine Andacht und es werden kurze Reden gehalten. Wir verstehen natürlich kein Wort.
Unser Führer fordert uns auf, doch auch einige Geldscheine an den Sträuchern zu platzieren, was wir dann auch machen (des guten Karmas wegen :-)).
Als wir uns wieder auf den Weg mach um unser nächstes Ziel zu erreichen, kann ich mir eine provokante Aussage gegenüber unserem Reiseführer nicht verkneifen. Ich bemerke, dass irgendwie nicht ganz klar war, ob die Mönche nun zu Buddha beteten, oder ob sie die „Geldsträucher“ angebetet haben. Ein vernichtender Blick in meine Richtung war die Folge. Nach einigen Minuten Schweigen sieht er sich aber doch genötigt, uns eine Erläuterung zu geben.
Es gibt in Thailand unterschiedliche Arten von Klöstern (Wats). Die einen sind selbstverwaltet und die anderen werden von der Kommune verwaltet. Dies beiden kleinen Wats werden von der Kommune verwaltet und das Geld wird einem gemeinschaftlichen Beschluss zur Folge verwendet. Leider erfahren wir nicht, welchen Zweck das Geld nun hat.

The 8 Mekhong Youth Friendship Program 2012 @ Phetchaburi Thailand 23-5-2012 HD

Mukdahan Province, Issan, Mekong river, Kangkabao, Wan Yai District, Thailand. ( 2 )

Mukdahan is one of the north-eastern provinces ( Changwat ) of Thailand. Neighbouring provinces are (from south clockwise) Amnat Charoen, Yasothon, Roi Et, Kalasin, Sakon Nakhon and Nakhon Phanom. To the east it borders the Mekong River, across which lies Savannakhet Province of Laos.
Lord Chandrasuriyawongse and his followers founded a settlement at Baan Luang Phonsim near the Thad Ing Hang Stupa along the left banks of the Mekong River in Laos. Later, after some several decades, he died.
Lord Chanthakinnaree his son, succeeded him as ruler. Then, in B.E.2310, a huntsman crossed over the Mekong and arrived along the right side at the mouth of the stream Bang Muk where he discovered a discarded realm complete with a monastery and seven sugar palms located on the nearby riverbank. He found the area much better than the territories along the left side of the Mekong, and at the site of mouth of the Bang Muk was a huge abundance of fish.
Thus, he headed back to report this to his ruler Lord Chanthakinnaree. Lord Chanthakinnaree led his followers across the Mekong to inspect the area and found that the area was indeed the remains of an ancient realm and in much better condition than any area along the left side of the Mekong. He thus led his people from Baan Luang Phonsim to establish a settlement along the right side of the Mekong at the mouth of the Bang Muk.
When he began to clear away the forests to make way for his resettlement of the realm, he found two Buddha images beneath a Sacred Fig tree on the banks of the Mekong. The larger of the two was bricks-and-mortar, while the smaller one was made of fine iron. He had a new monastery built at once near the old, abandoned temple on the banks of the Mekong, and named it Wat Sri Moungkhoun (cognate to Sri Mongkol in Central Thai, meaning Temple of Serene Auspices).
He also constructed a palatial manse ( house ) near the temple where he enshrined both Buddha images in vihara. Later, the iron Buddha image ( the smaller one ) appeared to mysteriously re-establish itself beneath the fig tree where it had first been discovered and ultimately, after some three or four spectacles of this nature, began slowly sinking into the ground there until only the crown of the head could be seen.
Thus, an alternate place of worship was built there to cover the site instead and the image itself was then named Phra Loup Lek or Venerable One of Iron metal Who Shrouds Himself. Nowadays the site where Phra Loup Lek would submerge himself beneath the earth has been overtaken by the waters of the Mekong and washed away (presumably leaving only the shrine rescued and preserved at the front of the vihara at today's Wat Sri Mongkol South
In 2006, the Second Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge from Mukdahan to Savannakhet, Laos was opened.
The Second Thai--Lao Friendship Bridge Thai over the Mekong connects Mukdahan Province in Thailand with Savannakhet in Laos. The bridge is 1600 metres ( 1.0 mile ) long and 12 metres ( 39 ft ) wide, with two traffic lanes.
Traffic on the bridge drives on the right, as in Laos, while traffic in Thailand drives on the left; the change-over is on the Thai side
Bridge construction began on March 21, 2004. Supports and spans were constructed on shore, then moved out onto pylons in the river by crane.
The total cost was about 2.5 billion Baht funded largely by a Japanese loan. An official opening ceremony was held on December 19, 2006, although the bridge only opened to the general public on January 9, 2007.
Wat Phu Manoram Temple, Mukdahan Province, Thailand. This small hilltop temple/park offers scenic views of Mukdahan, the Mekong and across to Savannakhet in Laos. There's little to see at the temple itself, but it's a breezy and pleasant spot to escape the midday heat. If you want to be like the locals, bring some food and some beers and while away a couple of hours lounging in one of the covered huts.
Phu Manoram is located about four kilometres south of town. To get here, head south on Samut Sakdarak Road, take the first U-turn after Mukdahan Tower then the first left, which will take you right up to Phu Manoram after a couple of kilometres. A tuk tuk can also take you here and back for around 120 Baht. Early morning when the sun is rising is particularly pleasant.

VIETNAM WAR DAILIES GENERAL WESTMORELAND REVIEWS 9th THAI ARMY REGIMENT & 9th INFANTRY 83504

Dating to around 1967, these silent films were shot by U.S. Army cameramen, and brought back to the USA by one of them before winding up in the Periscope Film collection. This one starts with images of General Westmoreland visiting the 9th Infantry Division headquarters. At :42 he boards a jeep and waves goodbye. At 1:17 he is seen reviewing soldiers of the 9th Thai Army volunteer regiment. At 2:24, Westmoreland visits another base. At 4:00, a headquarters building is shown with signs indicating Chief of Staff and Commanding General. At 4:19 a fleet of helicopters flies overhead in a line formation. At 4:41 an out-of-focus slate is seen. At 5:57, Westmoreland is seen boarding a Huey helicopter. At 7:00, POV shots from a truck or jeep are shown. At 8:00, Westmoreland boards another jeep. At 8:19 a building, the Reliable Memorial Chapel is shown. (This was likely the chapel at the 9th Infantry Division base.) At 10:06 a sign reads, Today is Sunday, Attend Chapel.
