Rice Paddies
Visits
- 2026-02-02: We were a bit away from the tourist track at this point. We stopped at a hotel in the rice paddies. There was no restaurant at the hotel, and by the time we got around to looking for dinner, everything nearby was shut. We walked for awhile and found a noodle stand next to 7-11
- 2026-02-03: On the way to the pitta site, we saw a few birds from the car.
