I am sure most locals and those from town are familiar with the so called jungle market betweenj Non Wau So and Nong Bua, it;s the one located on the right coming from Udon just before you enter the mountain stretch, well just a few metres further on, on the same side, they are constucting a new one, not sure if it replacing the existing one but it's going to be quite large with lots of stalls and parking so I guess it might.

Extensive construction going on to a temple just past the jungle market, can't think of the name but apparently it was favoured by a Royal personage when she was working in town. When you start descending you will notice road works just as you go round a bend off to your left, they are making a dual four lane road up to it, but the thing to me was both sides of the new road they are building the longest dragon/snake I have ever seen. A rough calculation using my cars mileometer it is 2 kms long, it's massive, I shudder to think of just the cost of this adorment, yet alone the road.
