The route passes through rain forests, elephant sanctuaries, and Kui, Khmer, and brutalist design and architecture.

Rent a car at Don Mueang airport in Bangkok from a major multinational dealer like Hertz, Budget, or Sixt. They’re the only companies that do one-way rentals, and you will end up returning your car to Ubon Ratchathani Airport. I also recommend getting an international driver’s license to be safe. They drive on the opposite side of the road, and lane markings don’t mean much.
Day 2 8 a.m. Hike through a Thai rain forest Eat breakfast at the hotel. I remember eating rice soup, which is my favorite kind of breakfast; it’s what I crave when I’m back in New York. Drive the remaining hour to Khao Yai National Park. Ideally, you’re starting your hike by 9 a.m. because by midday, it’s uncomfortably hot. You have to get a guided hike at the visitor center when you arrive because there are bears, snakes, and spiders, and they don’t want you getting lost.
12 p.m. Get lost in Khmer-style ruins Drive to nearby Phanom Rung Historical Park. It’s only 15 minutes from the hotel. These sprawling ruins are unlike the more touristy ruins of Ayutthaya or Sukhothai. This section of Thailand has multiple complexes like this, but this is the best one. Phanom Rung are Khmer in style, because they’re close to Cambodia, and built with massive laterite boulders, Tetris-style.

This is where I do my brasswork.
Day 6 8 a.m. Find breakfast noodles When in Ubon, you have to eat kuay jab yuan, a noodle dish it is famous for. These are gummy, translucent noodles with moo yor and a peppery broth. You find it on every street corner, but a safe bet is breakfast at Ubon Ocha. It’s the best way to wake up. This restaurant also has the best kao tom I’ve ever had. It’s a traditional Thai breakfast.
