Travel Thailand By Bus

344km/214 miles
5hrs 10 min (car)

A You Tube Video by Tom Isaan

It's a great little travel slideshow video of bus travel along the way from Ubon Thani to Sakon Nakhon.

First slide immediately tells me
it's not a FIRST CLASS coach ride.

Most cities and towns are served by more than one bus company with their own terminals and stops.
Some first class services are better than others.

The do's and don'ts displayed on the bus window also indicate
it's not a FIRST CLASS coach ride.

It's not our age, it's that dumb door!

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind,
only to completely forget what that purpose was?

Doors are to blame for these strange memory lapses.

Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that
passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next.
Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.
