Today was mostly a travel day. We went to see some amazing sculptures this morning before leaving for Vang Vieng, Laos. We were only in Nong Khai for one night last night, but it was awesome. Last night was the Loy Crutong festival on the Me Kong River. We bought little boates with candles, lit them (to signify the shedding of unnecessary burdens), and floated them down the river along with everyone in the city. We also lit and floated white lanterns through the sky at night; it was SO beautiful! After the loy Crutong, we all bought some beer at the 711 and drank out on the marble steps along the river and watched all the lanterns floating up above us.
This morning is when we went to see the statues... and our tuk tuk broke down on the side of the highway. It was going SO slow and sounded SO unhealthy trying to hoof it up the hill and we couldn't stop laughing about it. We've all decided that Cody is bad luck on all of these rides :P Luckily, there was another tuk tuk that came back and picked us up... my stomach hurt so much from laughing for so long! And on top of that... while we were all sitting around eating breakfast... an elephant came strolling down the sidewalk to visit us at our breakfast table. Like wtf??? Thailand is amazing! needless to say, it was an entertaining morning. Now we're off to Vang Vieng, Laos! ♥t
