Wat Tham Pha Poo and Chiang Khan, Isaan - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
After our extended lunch break at the Huai Krathing Reservoir, our tour guides have planned an unscheduled stopover before our day's destination. We visit Wat Tham Pha Pu or Tham Phiang Din. The temple lies 7 km north of Loei in the 220 m long Phapu Cave, Tham Pha Poo.
Upon arrival, many monkeys are already waiting for us. Beside gibbons, we see many spectacled langurs here.
They owe their name to their eyeglasses-like coloring around the eyes so. It is a pleasure to watch them playing high up in the trees. Wat Tham Pha Pu consists of a small temple of devotion and a huge cave whose entrance is in a rugged rock face. Next to it is a fat laughing Buddha.
Behind this, the cave opens in a gigantic hall. Several sedentary Buddhas greet the visitors. It is very dark inside. Only when the eyes get used to the dark one discovers a Reclining Buddha in the back. And bats at the ceiling.
Once again in the open, we watch the monkeys again. Then we continue 65 km to the north, to Chiang Khan.
Chiang Khan lies on the bank of the Mekong, which forms the border with Laos. Immediately in front of the city, the river gives the impression of being very water-rich.
On our arrival, the sun is only slightly above the horizon. That's why we leave our luggage at the Old Chiangkhan Boutique Hotel and make our way to gather some impressions.
Chiang Khan is famous for its wooden house architecture. Already in the hotel, the dark brown wood paneling and pillars are visible in the reception area. In the inner courtyard is a heavy wooden table with a smooth polished surface. Also, the doors, porch, and floors are of dark wood.
We go outside. A straight road runs from east to west. Here you find most souvenir shops, restaurants, and shopping facilities. Many of the houses have large wooden balconies or verandas. Often, the entire house is made of wood.

Nach unserer ausgedehnten Mittagspause am Huai Krathing Reservoir haben unsere beiden Begleiter noch einen außer planmäßigen Zwischenstopp vor unserem Tagesziel eingeplant, den Höhlentempel Wat Tham Pha Pu oder Tham Phiang Din. Der Tempel liegt 7 km nördlich von Loei in der 220 m langen Phapu Höhle, Tham Pha Poo.
Wat Tham Pha Pu (Tham Phiang Din)
Eine Reihe von Affen erwarten uns bereits als wir beim Wat Tham Pha Pu ankommen. Es sind die vom Aussterben bedrohten Indochina Brillen Languren.
Sie werden wegen ihren Brillen-artigen Färbung rund um die Augen so bezeichnet. Es ist ein Vergnügen, ihnen zu zusehen, wie sie hoch in den Bäumen herumturnen. Das Wat besteht aus einem kleinen Andachtstempel und einer riesigen Höhle, deren Eingang sich in einer schroffen Felswand befindet. Daneben wacht ein dicker lachender Buddha.
Gleich dahinter öffnet sich die Höhle in einem riesigen Saal. Mehrere sitzende Buddhas empfangen die Besucher. Es ist sehr dunkel im Inneren. Erst als sich die Augen an die Dunkelheit gewöhnen entdeckt man im hinteren Bereich einen liegenden Buddha. Und an der Decke Fledermäuse.
Wieder im Freien sehen wir nochmals kurz den Affen zu, dann geht es weiter in das ca. 65 km nördlich befindliche Chiang Khan.
Chiang Khan liegt am Ufer des Mekong, der hier die Grenze zu Laos bildet. Unmittelbar vor der Stadt vermittelt der Fluss den Eindruck sehr wasserreich zu sein.
Bei unserer Ankunft steht die Sonne nur noch wenig über dem Horizont. Deshalb liefern wir lediglich unser Gepäck im Old Chiangkhan Boutique Hotel ab und machen uns gleich auf den Weg noch ein paar Eindrücke zu sammeln.
Der Ort ist bekannt für seine Holzhausarchitektur. Schon im Hotel fallen uns im Empfangsbereich die dunkelbraunen Holzvertäfelungen und Säulen auf. Im Innenhof steht ein schwerer Holztisch mit glatt polierter Oberfläche. Auch die Türen, Veranda und Böden sind aus dunklem Holz gefertigt.
Wir gehen ins Freie. Eine gerade Straße verläuft von Ost nach West an der sich die meisten Souvenir-Läden, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten befinden. Viele der Häuser haben große hölzerne Balkone oder Veranden. Oft besteht aber das gesamte Haus aus Holz.

Most beautiful view - Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahathat - Thailand
Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, known among the locals as “Wat Yai”, was founded in 1357 by King Lithai[1] of Sukhothai. The temple was built at the same time as Wat Phra Phuttha Chinna Si and “Wat Phra Si Satsadaram. During the reign of Ekathotsarot of Ayutthaya, its buddha image was gilded and the temple was later developed by Chulalongkorn and Bhumibol Adulyadej of Rattanakosin. The temple is located at the foot of Naresuan Bridge on the bank of the Nan River. It has an area of 36 rai (1 rai = 1600 m^2).[2] The temple is very famous because of its golden buddha image called Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, which is considered by some Thais to be the most beautiful buddha image in the country.[2] For more info please visit

Feeding the Monks in Chiang Khan, Isaan - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
The feeding of the monks is a part of the daily life in Chiang Khan. Unfortunately, it has developed to a tourist attraction. Karma plays a decisive role in the life of a Buddhist. By doing good deeds, everyone can improve his karma and benefit of it in the next life. In Chiang Khan, it seems that one wants to bring it to perfection. One does not only cares about his own karma but also about the karma of the tourists. The tourists should provide the monks with food, flowers, and sweets in the morning.
The activities start with the first lights of the new day. The restaurants prepare the first food.
One has already rolled out carpets for the tourists to kneel down on the street. The hotels and Guesthouses have prepared bowls with sacrificial offerings.
As soon as the first tourists have occupied their assigned places, the first monks appear. If something is put into her begging bowl, they pronounce a short blessing.
If a tourist should have a shortage of sacrificial offerings, there are enough sellers around to provide adequate supplies, so that the karma does not suffer. If a monk gets too many sacrificial offerings of one kind, he can then exchange them for something else with dealers again.
One can not get rid of the impression that the burden of providing the many monks is too much for the native population. This might be the reason that one tries to get rid of this burden among tourists. And if you can do business with it ... the better.
We try to deal with the camera and the camera, but we do not want to be part of the religion and are rather unpleasantly touched by the whole procedure.

Die Speisung der Mönche ist ein Teil des täglichen Lebens in Chiang Khan. Leider hat es sich inzwischen auch zur Touristenattraktion entwickelt.
Im Leben eines Buddhisten spielt das Karma eine bestimmende Rolle. Durch gute Taten kann jeder sein Karma verbessern und im nächsten Leben davon profitieren. In Chiang Khan scheint man dies zur Perfektion treiben zu wollen. Man sorgt sich nicht nur um sein eigenes Karma, sondern auch um das der Touristen. Diese werden angehalten, die Mönche morgens mit Speisen, Blumen und Süßigkeiten zu versorgen.
Mit den ersten Lichtstrahlen des neuen Tages beginnen die Aktivitäten. In Restaurants werden die ersten Speisen zubereitet. Auf der Straße werden Teppiche ausgerollt, auf denen die Touristen knien können. Die Hotels und Guesthouses haben bereits Schalen mit Opfergaben vorbereitet.
Kaum haben die ersten Touristen die ihnen zugewiesenen Plätze eingenommen tauchen auch schon die ersten Mönche auf. Wird etwas in ihre Bettelschale gelegt, wird anschließend ein kurzer Segen ausgesprochen.
Sollten einem Touristen die Opfergaben ausgehen, stehen genügend Verkäufer herum, die für Nachschub sorgen, damit das Karma nicht leidet. Erhält ein Mönch zu viel von einer Sorte der Opfergaben, kann er sie im Anschluss bei Händlern wieder gegen etwas anderes eintauschen.
Man wird den Eindruck nicht los, die Last, die vielen Mönche zu versorgen, wird der einheimischen Bevölkerung zu viel. Deshalb versucht man diese Last bei Touristen los zu werden. Wenn man dann auch noch ein Geschäft damit machen kann.... umso besser.
Wir versuchen uns mit dem Fotoapparat und der Filmkamera zu beschäftigen, aber wir haben keine Lust, Teil der Religion zu werden und sind von dem ganzen Vorgang eher unangenehm berührt.

Huai Krathing Reservoir, Isaan - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
The Huai Krathing Reservoir, also known as Huai Nam Man, is in the Loei province. The reservoir has a capacity of 26 million cubic meters and covers an area of 1,500 hectares of land. Surrounded by teak wood and bamboo woods, the Huai Krathing Reservoir lies in an evergreen hilly country. That's why the locals call it Little Switzerland.
Once laid out for irrigation purposes, it serves today as a recreation area for locals.
On the west bank are some countryside kitchens. You might eat in little guest gardens with tables and chairs on the shore. But most of the meals are served on bamboo rafts in the midst of the lake.
Here one only speaks Thai and also the menus are only in Thai. You should at least have a phrase book for the order.
Small boats draw the straw-roofed bamboo rafts on the open water, where you can enjoy your meal.
The countryside kitchens serve traditional Isaan cuisine, famous for its spiciness. One seasons with fresh herbs and fermented fish (Plah rah). In contrast to the Thai cuisine, one serves sticky rice instead of fragrant rice. Typical dishes are Som Tam, a green papaya salad with dried crabs and Gai Yang, grilled chicken marinated in soy or fish sauce and spices.
In Isaan, you find the most varied animals on the menu, like lizards, fried grasshoppers, crickets and dung beetles. What was once eaten out of necessity is today a delicacy.
After an extensive breakfast at the Sirila Farm Tent Camp, we are not very hungry yet and order only a light meal.
On the bamboo raft, one looks in vain for tables and chairs. Traditionally you eat sitting on straw mats on the ground.
After the meal is time for a refreshing bath or a short afternoon nap.

Das Huai Krathing Reservoir, auch bekannt als Huai Nam Man, liegt in der Provinz Loei. Das Reservoir hat eine Kapazität von 26 Millionen Kubikmetern und bedeckt eine Fläche von 1.500 Hektar Land.
Umringt von Teakholz und Bambuswäldern ist das Huai Krathing Reservoir malerisch in eine immergrüne Hügellandschaft eingebettet. Deshalb wird es im Volksmund auch gerne als „Little Switzerland“ bezeichnet.
Einst wurde es für Bewässerungszwecke angelegt, doch heute dient es als Erholungsgebiet hauptsächlich für Einheimische.
Am westlichen Ufer reiht sich eine Landküche neben der anderen. Kleine Gastgärten mit Tischen und Stühlen ermöglichen es am Ufer zu essen. Doch hauptsächlich wird das Essen auf schwimmenden Bambus-Flößen inmitten des Sees serviert. Außer Thai wird hier keine Sprache gesprochen und auch die Speisekarten sind nur in Thai. Man sollte für die Bestellung einen Sprachführer dabei haben.
Kleine Beiboote ziehen die mit Stroh überdachten Bambus-Flöße auf das offene Wasser, wo auch das Essen serviert wird.
Es werden Gerichte aus der traditionellen Küche im Isaan, die für ihre Schärfe berühmt ist, serviert. Man würzt man mit frischen Kräutern und fermentiertem Fisch (Plah rah). Im Gegensatz zur Thailändischen Küche verwendet man Klebreis anstelle von Duftreis. Typische Gerichte sind Som Tam, ein grüner Papaya-Salat mit getrockneten Krabben und Gai Yang, gegrilltes Huhn mariniert in Soja- oder Fischsauce und Gewürze.
Allerdings findet man im Isaan auch heute noch die vielfältigsten Tiere auf dem Speiseplan, wie z.B. Eidechsen, gebratene Heuschrecken, Grillen und Mistkäfer. Was einst aus der Not gegessen wurde ist heute eine Delikatesse.
Nachdem wir im Sirila Farm Tent Camp ausgiebig gefrühstückt haben, sind wir noch nicht sehr hungrig und bestellen nur eine Kleinigkeit.
Tische und Stühle sucht man vergeblich. Traditionell wird auf dem Boden, auf Strohmatten sitzend gegessen.
Nach dem Essen wird die Zeit für ein kühlendes Bad oder einen kurzen Mittagsschlaf genutzt.

Chiang Khan 2015
Chiang Khan 2015 (Thai:เชียงคาน)
Once a sleepy, little-known riverside town full of traditional timber houses is now a very popular/trendy destination for Thais (not many Farangs to see), full of tacky gift shops. That said, it's far from ruined and still think it's a good place to visit. The photogenic views of the river and the Lao mountains beyond are still there and things remain fairly peaceful in the daytime, before the evening shopping stampede begins.
Neighboring districts are Pak Chom, Mueang Loei and Tha Li of Loei Province. To the northwest are the Xaignabouli and Vientiane Provinces of Laos. The important water resource are the Nam Mekong, Hueang and Loei Rivers.

Drone Video: Chiang Khan, Loei (Thailand)
Chiang Khan is one of the most popular domestic tourism spots for Thai people.
The classic wooden houses make special atmosphere which you are not able to feel in other places.
The temperature is also quite low (28th Nov 2016 was 19 degrees) comparatively other provinces, so it is also famous as cool spot.
If you are thinking to visit this city, you can check the locations on my map here:
