Breakfast with half-boiled eggs and bread with a hot mug of nescafe to last us till lunch time.
By 7.30 am we checked out and headed to Nurul Iman Mosque in Surin. Nurul Iman Mosque is a prominent mosque located in Surin Province, serving as a religious and cultural hub for the local Muslim community. Surin, primarily known for its rich Thai and Khmer cultural heritage, is also home to a minority Muslim population. The mosque plays a significant role in fostering religious practices, community gatherings, and education for Muslims in the region.
After solat sunat, we drove through the town of Si Saket towards Ubon Ratchathani and stopped at a PTT R&R for comfort break and provisions.
By noon we arrived at Masjid Al-Baitullah Ubon Ratchathani and performed our solat jamak. We had nasi lauk and prawn fried rice lunch at Koi Ican Muslim restaurant located opposite the mosque.
We continued our journey and detoured to Sirindhom Dam and took a stroll on the glass Nature Sky Walk and had a good view of the beautiful surrounding of the dam.
By 4.00 pm we reached the Chong Mek border. We parked our 4x4 and walked through the busy border market to take photos.
Our hotel is located nearby but we had to look for another alternative road to get there as it was a Saturday night and the road was closed for the night market.
Checked in Kiang Fah Resort for Rm57/night. Tonight we shared a plate of Kembara Nasi Goreng Tomyam for dinner.
