Day 22: Shopping time

Sunday, February 5 2017
Today the three of us are going to spend the time by shopping in Nong Khai and Na Kha market. We’ve been picked up at 11.00 am by our mentor and a buddy. We go to Nong Khai first since it farther than Na Kha.

Nong Khai is a city in nort-east Thailand. Nong Khai lies on the Mekong River, near the site of the first Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, spanning the river to Laos. Nong Khai is famous for its Sadet Market. This market sells everything unique and special about Thailand. We can find shirt, fabric, bag, and many more. The price is average, but we still can ask for some discount price. In this place, I buy some fabrics, blouses, and scarf.

After finish our shopping in Nong Khai, we are leaving for the next destination, Na Kha. Na Kha village is one of the closest tourist attractions to Udon Thani city. It is located 15 kilometers in the route to Nong Khai province. It is famous for hand woven products, for example Khid style woven clothes, dresses, women’s purses, and handicrafts. It is a very good place for finding souvenirs to take home with. They have a selection of traditional textile in various color and styles suitable for buying for oneself or as a group for the workplace. Unfortunately, when we arrive here, most of the shop already closed. I only get some cute purses with elephant printings on them.

Today is a very busy and tired day. But I am satisfied because basically I like shopping. And I can fulfill my hunger for shopping in these places.
