You can had to visit Ubon a lot in the last few weeks. This is not a hardship because Ubon is only a 45-minute drive from Phana now that the road from Muang Samsip is all dual-carriageway. But going to Ubon has never been a hardship because it is my favourite city in Thailand. I have some favourite places to eat there, depending on how long I am going to be there, what sort of business I am on, and so on. But even favourite places can begin to seem jaded (really it is me who is jaded, of course) if you eat there too often, so I have been trying a few new places.
The first new place I tried was Spago , and I have been back several times now. Next up was Peppers Bakery, where I ate too much cake but came away with some great bread which I hadn't realised I had been missing. Then, on another occasion, after meeting my daughter and her family at the airport, we headed off for breakfast at Dao Cafe. A week later and I was having lunch at a place called Baan Glang Soi where I really ejoyed the meal and I also had my camera with me.
