Around Ang Thong, Thailand

A few hours north of mighty big Bangkok, one can get lost a bit out in the sticks of rural Thailand. A nice respite from the gridlock in the heavy metropolis.

Little Ang Thong is happy to host you. Time to check out the sedate scene.

Out In The Sticks Of Indonesia

What's nice about visiting the Borobudur temple in Indonesia is the chance to stay nearby in its rural location. After the tourist crush at the landmark, some time to relax among the locals and rice paddies.
