The first time I went to Khon Kaen, it was just a landing at the airport and a mini-van ride out of town. That doesn't count. It has now been fixed. Lots of healthy people at the lake in Khon Kaen after work. Nice people. Nice town. I will happily return.

This is not the Huai Yang Reservoir I usually visit near Suranaree University of Technology. Rather, this is the one near ปักธงชัย / Pak Thong Chai. It might be even bigger, and it looks pretty good. It doesn't have the food and drinks places that my regular does, but that's a good thing. Looks like a decent place to fish, although I didn't see anybody fishing.

I guess the only way to confirm that this is, in fact, the pond behind Wat Nong Ok is to ride over there and see. Maybe soon...

I don't know why it's such a popular name, but there appear to be several Huai Yang Reservoirs in Thailand. This one is my local here in southwest Nakhon Ratchasima, not far from Suranaree University of Technology. There's another one northeast of ปักธงชัย / Pak Thong Chai, maybe 10 kilometers away, that I haven't been to yet. That will be fixed.

Built in the 11th Century, that makes it about one thousand years old--and still standing. It faces east, watching over our house about seven kilometers away. It makes me feel pretty good knowing that this old structure is watching over us.
