I am a (western) Theravada Buddhist from Australia. I returned yesterday, from a month long pilgrimage in the Kingdom of Thailand. We visited ‘Wat Prathat Phanom’ and made offerings of dāna there to the retinue of Monks. It was utterly overwhelming. Yes, the cremated remains of the left sternum of the Buddha, are contained in the solid gold ornament, on top of the Chedi (temple stupa). The interior of the stupa is hollow and contains thousands and thousands of statuettes of the Buddha, that are stacked three stories high on the inside of the structure. They represent offerings, made by an uncountable amount of Buddhists, Buddhist families and Buddhist communities the world over, who have made it to this sacred place of reverence to pay their respects. People from Laos and Theravada Buddhists the world over, flood here to do the same thing. Thailand is an amazing place filled with amazing people. Kop Kun Krap 🇹🇭♥️🌸🙏🙏🙏🌸♥️🇹🇭
I have really been enjoying your road trip videos. I’m no longer able to travel due to a terminal illness, so I’m vicariously enjoying your visits. i particularly appreciate that you are visiting the spots that aren’t overrun with tourists. It’s the real Thailand. My wife and I planned to do the same before my health got in the way. Please keep the videos coming, they are a gift for this homebound soul!
Qi Gong can maybe save your life. Drastically healed doing it! In case you’re done though and ready to go I wish to assure you heaven is real! We ALL go-good bad we go. Beyond divine, love is the foundation but we had maybe 10%years ago now maybe 1%! All encompassing mere human words are inadequate! Blessings of peace of mind🙏🏻❤️
I’m thai and used to visit this historic temple many many years ago. It’s was like a dream. Couldn’t remember much now, because everything completely changed. So excited to go along with you again. Enjoy your exploring our country.
I was stationed at Nakhon Phanom RTAFB IN 1971-73. In deference to Thai culture/custom, we were not allowed to wear shorts or sneakers when off base. We would sit on the roof of the NKP Hotel, drinking Singhai’s…watching the tracer rounds pounding the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos just across the river…surreal. They were not good days. I’m so happy to see how the city has thrived. My photo albums show such a different place those so many years ago.
That's a powerful and haunting image. My papa was there in the mid 60s. I hope that the lovely images from this video can replace your disturbing memories. God bless.
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ. ตอนนี้ฉันอยู่กรุงเทพมหานคร..นครพนมคือบ้านเกิดของฉัน ดีใจที่ได้เห็นพระธาตุพนม บ้านของฉันติดริมถนน ห่างออกไปประมาณ3กิโลเมตร, ..ดีใจที่คุณ2คนมาเที่ยว..i love you ❤️❤️ ,welcome to thailand 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Flora and Note this is a good video with all the nature with everything. Flora and Note keeps these great videos coming. I respect the both of you Flora and Note.
You are so blessed to have your mom Note. Flora too. My son and I are only ones left, which I didn’t expect. I miss my family especially my sister. I’m the oldest of 3. Treasure all your family moments! The dinner cruise looked enchanting. How was the food? You didn’t share for once lol. Enjoy and safe travels. Thank you🙏🏻❤️
I have been to wat phratat phanom twice ....I love the beautiful chedi. ... walking around chedi 3x is called pradaksina....both of you are lucky come at the right time.... Thanks for showing us the beautiful of wat phratat phanom .... btw I heard the coconut 🥥 at Nakhon phanom Is especially taste good ...the best in Thailand.... The Thais told me so ...
We visited nakhon phanom when we went to thakek to visit my wife's family. We really really liked the city and stayed at a hotel by the naga statue. Hope to see some thakek/lao adventures one day!
Hi @Flora and Note. Thank you for showing us beautiful Nakhom Phanom. Never would have known about it if you hadnt shown it to us. Note you and your mom look alike! Shes pretty by the way.
If parking is 80 BHT every day then I see that is a problem. But if parking 80 BHT is only on festival celebrations, then I do not see as a problem. Can we confirm if 80 BHT daily..?
I never heard about this city , my girlfriend already been there ones when she was young with the school. Thanks to share the vibes of this place ,on our bucket list for our next trip to isaan.😊
Seeing your videos in Thailand makes me miss the country even more. I truly enjoyed my time in Thailand last year, although it was short. It’s great to see how much you both enjoy your adventures there together, both good and challenging ones. 😊 Can’t wait to see more videos in the future. ☺️ I wish I could go to the tour in Chiang Mai later this year but have other plans in place. Hoping you’ll have more group tours next year. 😊
Certainly looks beautiful & welcoming on many levels - very impressive and somewhere I must go and visit - Great to see you with Note’s mum - Enjoyed ✔️🍺👌👍🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video. I'm ready to head back to Thailand in 3 weeks (I go 2-3 times a year to meet my short term visa requirements and to return to my office in Canada)
Vientiane is to the northwest of Nakhon Phanom so maybe you saw Nong Khai across the river. It's also a popular border crossing destination. We haven't been to Nong Khai yet!
Hey guys another good episode. Like the history snippets behind the locations you visit. Nice you guys get to visit with Note’s mom and husband. We will also have to go visit the area. Interesting about the historical Vietnamese immigrant influence in that area. Beerlao, I will pick some up.
Great video!! Thanks for adding a little music and dancing. Maybe one day you could include the type of musical instrument that is being played as these are not used in States. Your mom and wife are so pretty😊🙏 kob kun ka
Your interesting video take us along to many places of interest & food that look simple yet nice. Thailand itself is beautiful, large country filled with rich Buddhist culture. People are friendly too. Your mum & dad, both of them are sporting pair, love travelling very much. Bless Rocky the cute faithful jeep doing 💯 well.
This time i have been at every place you visited in this video. Even sat at the same table on that boat :) It is the prettiest city in Thailand i think. Last time we stayed for new year and the hotel staff took us to the boat and later to a private party for the hotel staff. It was crazy, they could party and it was so fun to stay there.
Thank you, Flora, and Note. Wonderful video, appreciated your hard work behind the scenes in editing the video. Nakhon Phanom reminded me of Nong Khai which I visited often. I didn’t know about your group trip, it sounds exciting! my grandfather is from Chiang Mai, I normally just do a self-guided tour. : )
Really love your channel น. โน๊ต Really makes me want visit annually and eventually retire in Thailand. We are visiting late October to mid-Nov. พ่อแม่พี่เป็นคน นครพนม ต.ขามเฒ่า 😃
I would have loved to join your group tour if not for the Japan trip I've already planned, and was doing research on and that's how I found the two of you! Loved your Japan videos and would sure keep the Thailand ones too so I can re-watch them when I plan my Thailand trip maybe for 2027! I've only been to Bangkok for one day back in 2018 and would love to go back and see more of the country!
Excellent video. First time visitors to Nakhon Phanom in January. The Chewa Khong resort was pretty cool where we stayed. Great views of the Mekong and mountains. Keep up the cool videos… happy travels you guys!

นครพนมเคยถูกจัดให้เป็นอันดับ 1 ของจังหวัดที่มีดัชนีความสุขมวลรวมของประชากรสูงที่สุดในประเทศครับ เลยเป็นที่มาของประโยคที่ว่า 'สุขที่สุดที่นครพนม'
สาเหตุที่ชื่อว่านครพนม เพราะอดีตก่อนที่สยามจะถูกฝรั่งเศสแบ่งดินแดนไป ประเทศลาวเคยเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของสยามหรือประเทศไทย และภูเขาฝั่งเมืองท่าแขกของลาวก็เคยเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของเมืองนครพนมครับ จึงได้ชื่อว่า นครพนม หรือเมืองแห่งขุนเขา
นครพนมจังหวัดที่ผมชอบมาก ๆ สงบ อาคารสวย ๆ ธรรมชาติดี เหมาะกับการไปพักผ่อนครับ
ขอบคุณมากครับสำหรับข้อมูล เป็นเมืองที่น่าอยู่มากครับ😊

This was awesome video..I love Nakhon phanom....no one else has showed the city so well on TH-cam....

I was there for 5 nights in January, definitely my favourite place I've been to in Thailand 😊🇹🇭🇹🇭
That's lovely to hear!
Thanks for doing these videos away from all the classic Thai spots! Your videos have become a staple in my routine, thanks for all you do!
We're really happy to hear that 😊
Beautiful vlog. So nice to see your family Note!
Chaing Mai and Pai are awesome places! I know whoever goes with you two will surely enjoy a great experience. Much love from 🇨🇦
It's such a fun itinerary! We picked a bunch of places and activities that we love and it'll be the perfect time to visit Chiang Mai and Pai :)

Your comment made her very happy! 😂
Beautiful town😍! I loved it. You guys have fun. I’m from Nakhonphanom also😍
ค่าจอดรถโหดมาก จังหวัดต้องเข้ามาจัดระเบียบเองแล้ว
ใช่เห็นด้วยแทบทุกที่แพงเกิน
If parking is 80 BHT every day then I see that is a problem.
But if parking 80 BHT is only on festival celebrations, then I do not see as a problem.
Can we confirm if 80 BHT daily..?
Happy days! Suk ti sud just as mom's smile
I never heard about this city , my girlfriend already been there ones when she was young with the school. Thanks to share the vibes of this place ,on our bucket list for our next trip to isaan.😊
Great to hear that! It's become quite a trendy place with cafes by the river and a busy night market on the weekends.
Wife and I did the dinner cruise
Too bad you missed Chuck and Paige( notime2bsad). They live in That Phanom.
I love this video of my dad’s home town. I can’t wait to visit.

Thanks for the tour in Nakhon Phanom, very nice. Thanks again
Awesome and amazing video again. Thanks for sharing, Flora & Note.
Wow, this is a beautiful city again, just across the river is another country 😮 but it seems so peaceful there👍 very good
Thanks for the video. I'm ready to head back to Thailand in 3 weeks (I go 2-3 times a year to meet my short term visa requirements and to return to my office in Canada)
What a wonderful family gathering dinner on a tour boat enjoying sunset moment together 😍🥳👉🍷 cheers
I was in Vientienne in 2012 and saw Nakhon Phanom from the opposite side must be. Now i know what it looks like. Very nice. Note's mom is cool

@@FloraandNote ah it must be Nong Khai then.

Thanks for sharing!
Looks like an interesting place to explore.
That river cruise looked amazing.
Never commented before, but love your vids: lovely couple, calm video & drone shots... so great!
Thank you so much 😊
❤The happiest in Nakhon Phanom. Welcome from Chonburi to Nakhon Phanom.
We haven't really explored Chonburi yet. Looking to do that later this year!
Very nice city. I was there a month ago. I spent a few days there before I went on to Nong Khai.
Yay! A new video 😊 can’t wait to watch ❤❤
Hope you like it! 😊
Your interesting video take us along to many places of interest & food that look simple yet nice.
