17FEB17: Thailand Day 2: A Pause for Lunch

Before heading over to Wat Komnaram, we were all hot and hungry.  We had already made reservations with Mr. Deang for the Sand Spit trip tomorrow so we headed north on 4028.  We found this small, shaded restaurant at the intersection of routes 4028 and 6022 - Tham Niap Rat.  On the east side of 4028, we passed this wonderful stone sculpture of a man and a woman.  Fortunately, Tham Niap Rat had a view of this beauty:

Here is a look at the restaurant.  They had rice, chicken, papaya salad, and water. Enough for me!

While waiting for lunch, which in Thailand is under 2-3 minutes, I took a picture of my friend Na:

There was also this beautiful San Phra Phum or Spirit House on the deck of the dining area:

Behind the restaurant were some thickets with a very obliging Brown Shrike:

We finished up and headed over to Wat Komnaram.
