In about 1985 I took the slow, local train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai on a hard wooden seat in second class. I guess the average speed was about 50 km/hour, very slow. After many, many hours I got tired or riding, mostly in the parts of the body that come into direct contact with the wooden seat, so I alighted in Nakon Sawan. After almost 40 years later I returned, a few days ago, and found it much more developed, easier to get around and the popular sites still there, of course. Here are some of the best photos I took of temples and scenes.
Wat Khiriwong
Chao Pho Thepharak Chinese temple at the meeting point of 2 rivers, the Ping and Nan which create the Chao Phraya River, the one going through Bankgkok and out to the Gulf of Thailand.
