Delicious Thailand: Food of Nong Khai

I have now been living in Thailand for over two months.  This equates to a lot of divine food that I have consumed.  In this post, I will share with you photos of some of my meals, to give you a peek into what I eat on this side of the world.

Temples of Nong Khai: My Buddhist Home

One of the reasons I chose to move to Thailand is that I am Buddhist.  Thailand is the country with the largest Buddhist population in the world, percentage-wise and sheer amount-wise (93% of people in Thailand identify as Buddhist - a whopping 64 million people!!).  There are Buddhist temples everywhere here.

I have visited ten temples in Nong Khai (my home province) so far, all within biking distance of my apartment.  This post contains photos and descriptions of these amazing, spiritual places.  I hope that you enjoy visiting these temples with me!
