Chumpuang (ชุมพวง โคราช) is a very small rice farming village in the Isan province of Thailand. Photos and details here: http://migrationology.com/2014/07/chumpuang-thailand-isan/
I had a few days to spare, so Ying and I decided to take a trip to the Korat area of Thailand, which is in the Isan province of the country. We caught a bus from Bangkok's Mo Chit bus station, and got on a bus that took us to the small rice farming village of Chumpuang (ชุมพวง โคราช).
During the bus ride we took a couple of breaks, stopping for lunch at a restaurant. Lunch wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had, but it was pretty good and it satisfied. We finally arrived to Chumpuang, about 6 hours from Bangkok. It was so great to get out of Bangkok for a bit and to enjoy the fresh air of the Thai countryside.
Chumpuang is really only a tiny rice farming village or town, and it doesn't really have much to offer by way of attractions. But the great thing about visiting is to just experience the local Thai way of life, stroll through the beautiful rice fields, explore the evening food markets, and of course to eat and sample the delicious food available in Isan.
I would love to know what you thought of this video - it's my first time to ever try a vlog style format - so I would love to know what you think about it. Thank you for your feedback!
