Pilgrimage to That Phanom

Was visiting with friends in Khok Si Suphan, a town 22 km from Sakon Nakhon when I saw this procession. Barefooted monks on an apparent pilgrimage.

They were on their way to That Phanom to pay homage at a revered temple there.

I observed an almost unending column of monks for over half an hour before they disappeared in the distance, they had over 80 km to go.

To reach the site visitors must climb some 491 steps surrounded by jungle, and are rewarded by a breathtaking view of the surrounding country side
