I think you might be just slightly out there,Muni

From the top of the steps at the entrance heading anti clockwise towards the Udon Hospital,to the top of the steps near Good Everything,I think it is 3170 metres.......from there down the steps across the entrance/exit to the start of the top of the steps is another 25 metres which makes 3195 metres in total,if you include this little extra bit.
How do I know this ? I ran round once with a guy who had one of these distance machines and thats what it totalled.
But,yes,there is a marker every 100 metres starting from 0 at the top of the steps heading towards the hospital.

In "english money" its just a few metres short of 2 miles,marty.

I think Nong Bua might be a bit more than 1000m,taff ? I've never run it but I think it is larger than Nong Sim.
I reckon it might be nearer 2200 metres all around or just over one and a third miles.

If you are feeling the pace at Nong Prajak,there are a few places for a cheap beer(and some serving wenches) just behind Rabien Patchanee restaurant,mart....same street as Bubbas $\:D/$

Nong Bua is also marked off at 2K.

The best part of a walk or run around Nong Prajak Park is stopping at the food venders across the street for a nice little breakfast with some Thai Tea

I think the wife would object, even if I could keep up with the nice ones.

Reminds me of the "Little Rascals" episode where the kids are holding a carrot attached to a fishing pole in front of the horse pulling their wagon.

Jun and were walking the park 3 or 4 times a week in the evenings before we opened the business. I'll think about your offer. If that doesn't tire me too much we can talk. I really do need to start some sort of exercise.

Does anyone know if they still do yoga at the park, I think is was in the morning. I started a yoga routine while back in Alaska and hope to continue it when I get back.
