Trat FC is a professional club that was formed in 2012, representing the town and province of the same name. The White Elephants, as the club is nicknamed, were admitted to the 2011 Regional League Division 2 Central & Eastern Region division.
This was the third-tier competition of the time, with the team reaching the play-offs in their debut season as Rattaporn Saetan put away the goals that led to promotion to the second-level Division 1. Harnarong Chunhakunakorn came in as head coach as the side consolidated with help from the goals of Woukoue Mefire Raymond and Seiya Sugishita.
Krit Singha-preecha was given the coach’s role, as Trat were relegated to Division 2 Eastern at the end of the 2015 season, where Erivaldo top scored as the side won the title a year later after Praphan Narkpong had taken charge of on-field affairs.
Barros Tardeli became the goalscoring hero at the Trat Province Stadium, as Somkiat Fongpech, Worakorn Wichanarong, and Dusit Chalermsan all had spells as head coach. A runners-up finish in 2018 elevated Trat to the elite level of Thai League 1.
Lonsana Doumbouya scored the goals in 2019 after the arrival of new head coach Phayong Khunnaen, as the team settled in its elevated environment, before being relegated in the 2020-21 season, despite the goals of Ricardo Santos.
Somchai Chuayboonchum was at the helm the following season as Paulo Conrado scored regularly to take Trat to the playoffs, where they defeated Phrae United before losing the final on away goals to Lamphun Warriors. Coach Harnarong returned for a second spell to oversee the 2022-23 campaign.
Ferreira dos Santos finished the chances as Trat won promotion as runners-up, before the appointment of Santi Chaiyaphuak as head coach. Lidor Cohen’s goals weren’t enough to keep Trat up a year later, as Krongpol Daorueang arrived to take charge of the relegated club.
His spell lasted just a few months before he was replaced by Somchai Makmool, who in turn was succeeded by Phayong Khunnaen during the mid-season break. Phillerson top-scored as the side finished near the wrong end of the table. Santi Chaiyaphuak was appointed as the Trat head coach on January 1, 2026.
Trat FC will play in the Thai League 2 in the 2025-26 season.
My visit
Wednesday 21st August 2024
My wife and I were heading to the Koh Chang Beach Cricket Tournament and decided to make the journey easier by having her drive us to Trat to discover what the town was all about, before taking the ferry over in time for lunch the next day.
A visit to a rather underwhelming but welcoming local museum was followed by a visit to the stadium, which was being cleaned up and readied in time for a local event. I was extremely impressed with what I saw, as rather than a simple generic province stadium, it had some individuality and pride put into it.
Once I’d taken plenty of photos, we checked into our hotel, the excellent BaanRimNam Resort and had a rest before discovering what Trat had to offer on a Wednesday evening. In truth, not a lot, though I quite liked sitting watching the world go by at the open-fronted Lao Leu Music & Restaurant.
Mrs Rob was not quite as enamoured, so after a look at the basic night market, we took beers home before thoroughly enjoying the ride in a boat on the Nam Chiao to see Wat Jai Bridge. We then headed to the ferry and then lunch in the consistently magnificent Tidlom Seafood Restaurant at Salak Khok on Koh Chang.
Warin
Chamrap is a semi-professional football club which represents the district of
the same name, which is located just south of the city of Ubon Ratchathani in
Northeast Thailand. The club has a heritage that goes back to 1998.
In the
Thailand Amateur League in 2022, Warin Chamrap ended as runners-up to JFAM
United in the Northeast Southern Zone Group E on goal difference to end any
dreams of further progression in the competition.
The club
participated in the FA Cup in the 2022-23 season, defeating Phachi City 1-0 in the
first round at Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University Stadium before going out
4-1 away to Ratchaburi under the watchful eye of head coach Jirayoo Suwandee.
In 2024-25,
the team went out in the cup in the Round of 64, 2-1 away to Lampang, before
competing in the Semipro League, playing their home games at Ubon Ratchathani
University Stadium in their home district. In the semi-pro league, the side
finished way short of the title but attracted decent attendances.
The football gods were shining on Warin for the 2025-26 FA Cup. They received a bye in the qualification round before being drawn out of the hat to play away to Buriram United. While the game ended in a 12-0 defeat the club were given the gate receipts in a wonderful gesture from Newin Chidchob. A crowd of 11,413 attended.
For the 2026 semi-pro league season, the club chose to play their home games at the Ubon Ratchathani Provincial Sports School in the centre of the city, which was a former home of Ubon Kruanapat FC before the side coached by Jetsadakorn Hemdaeng moved to the UBRU Stadium.
Warin Chamrap FC will play in the Thai Semi-Pro League in 2026.

My pal,
John, and I had seen the visitors in action a fortnight earlier away to Ubon
Kids City, when after a reasonable start, they ended up getting pumped 6-0. The
following week, their home game ended in a 7-1 defeat to Mahasarakhan Siwilai.
We pondered what they might produce this time.
Our day out
began relatively early, before this 4 pm kick-off, with John collecting me at
home before we headed to Ubon to play golf at the Suppasit Prasong Military
Golf Course. Fun was had playing a proper course with caddies, and certainly an
upgrade on the smaller facility we had been using in Sisaket.
One thing
about playing proper golf when not used to it was the fact that it was a lot
more tiring than I remembered. We needed refreshing and energy stocks
replenishing. We eventually sat down inside the air-conditioned Tree Cafe Rim
Moon that I’d visited a couple of times previously.
It was a
Thai holiday weekend, which was reflected by the busy establishment, where
excellent local snacks and a bottle of Heineken Zero were enjoyed, with me on a
month of abstinence from alcohol to try and shed a bit of timber.
It was
further than we thought to Ubon Ratchathani University, if a simple enough
route. The pair of us were surprised by just what a spread-out city it is, with
Warin being a continuation of it these days. Many eating and drinking
establishments told a tale of a large population south of the River Mun.
The area
near the entrance to the campus had quite a collection of businesses, while
inside the grounds, we found things to be a little dated and neglected in
parts. I’d contemplated going to a game there a couple of years earlier. I
would most certainly have needed a driver to the stadium, as the area was huge.
We arrived
at the same time as a bus load of military cadets, while another bus for
youngsters would come later. The club had put up signage at the front entrance
and along the long route inside the campus to direct those wanting to find the
stadium, which impressed me.
As did the
setting up of a souvenir stall selling replica shirts at a knockdown price,
with the season nearing its end. Everyone seemed very friendly. The obligatory
man on the mic talked incessantly while playing modern Thai tunes, creating the
semblance of an occasion.
We sat in
the quieter of the two blocks in the main stand, separated by the usual media
and officials’ area. Three away supporters who had made the five-hour journey
from Nakhon Ratchasima were behind us. My attention was drawn to something
quite unusual as the teams warmed up.
I was
certain that the goal to the left was taller than the one on the right. Maybe
an optical illusion, or the pitch sloping, I wasn’t sure, but it simply didn’t
look right. It wasn’t alcohol playing a part, of that much I was certain.
In the early
stages, it quickly became apparent that the pitch was in awful condition, with
bumps all over it making control difficult. That wasn’t to say that some of the
players on display couldn’t be to blame as well, as what materialised was a
quite frankly shocking game of football, yet entertaining at the same time, if
that makes sense.
Referee
Rutratchapoom Moolpong played his part in this, as in the first half an hour,
he hardly gave a foul. Players were lying down injured as he simply waved play
on, leaving anyone in little doubt that he wasn’t going to be fooled by those
play acting. Sometimes he let things go too far.
By the time
he signalled for the drinks break after thirty minutes, Warin looked alright
going forward but hadn’t forced the VU goalkeeper, Phumin Prokkaew, into a
save. Home forward Winai Jarukan seemed to know what he wanted to do in terms
of chesting the ball down and retaining possession without knowing how.
The
University side had gone ahead after nineteen minutes. Their left-sided
defender Chayathat Thupmongkhon tried a speculative shot from thirty yards,
which caught goalie, Pattarawut Saengsanoh, off his line and out of position
and went into the top corner of the net.
VU came
close to doubling the lead shortly after. A low cross flashed across the
six-yard line, but there was no away team forward able to get on the end of it.
They then decided that they would hang on to what they had, to the frustration
of the home team players and supporters.
The ref
completely changed tack after the restart before halftime as he blew his
whistle so regularly, I was half expecting him to play the national anthem on
it. Once the teams went down the tunnel, a free raffle was held to win team
shirts, another nice touch.
Play got
worse, if anything, after the restart, as dark clouds began to build in the
distance, with occasional flashes of lightning. VU were using all the dark arts
they could think of to keep the hosts at bay, putting in a desperate display
trying to please their coach Therdtoon Kahkai.
Home coach,
Jirayoo Suwandee was apoplectic at the performance of the officials as his team
still failed to have a meaningful shot on target despite having plenty of the
ball and putting on pressure. One had to admire the doggedness of the
Vongchavalitkul rearguard.
Warin
defender Chakrit Champasrl lost his rag and got booked for an X-rated foul on
Adison Budken, who in turn had been fouling his way through the second half. He
hobbled off in agony to be replaced by Chatchawan Chonphakdi, much to our
delight in the stands.
The robust
defender kicked whatever was near him in the direction he was facing, much in
the same way as the last time we had watched him. A player of no discernible
talent, but someone committed to the cause, he refused to waver, much like many
Sunday League players back home.
Warin mounted
a couple of attacks and added pressure in the box, but the VU rearguard put
their collective bodies on the line and stood firm until full-time, much to the
delight of the trio sitting behind us. A terrible game of football, but
enjoyable in its own way.
We stopped a
couple of times on the way back towards home so that I could grab some
groceries, since our car was at the repair shop. A good day out.
UBRU Stadium
Warin Chamrap 0 Sisaket City 1
Saturday 16th May 2026
Thai Semi-Pro League Northeast
👨👨👧👧 789 🎟️50 THB (£1.20)
A cracking local derby in the fourth tier of Thai football, with both sides giving everything in a blood-and-thunder encounter that was excellently refereed. The occasion was handled superbly by Warin at the UBRU Stadium in Ubon Ratchathani city centre.
A win was vital if either team wanted to continue their hopes of lifting the title to gain promotion to Thai League 3, while a runners-up berth may suffice. The game was decided by another brilliant goal from Sisaket’s star player, Wanattanan Jhantasorn, with a shot from outside the box.
There was little to choose between the sides, with City perhaps looking slightly more threatening on the break. Their defence was resilient, keeping Warin to a few half-chances, with goalie Peerapath A-Sarast putting in some wonderful acrobatic dives for the cameras.
Free admission and a passionate crowd, including the smart use of a megaphone on the far side, alerting that an ambulance was required for someone taken ill. All licensed football in Thailand must have an ambulance on site. Light years ahead of certain other countries.
Sukhothai FC is a professional football club from
the northern Thai city of Sukhothai Thani, which was formed in 2009, initially
playing their home games at Sukhothai Institute of Physical Education Stadium.
The club,
coached by Chusak Sriphum, was awarded a place in the Regional League Division 2
Northern Region, finishing seventh. The side remained in mid-table or lower positions for several seasons before ending third in 2013.
Big changes
came in 2014 as the club moved into the new Thalay Luang Stadium. The regional
title was clinched, followed by promotion from Group B of the playoffs, taking the
Fire Bats to a place in the second-tier Division 1.
The prolific
Felipe Ferreira scored the goals as Sukhothai won promotion at the first
attempt, for the side led by Somchai Chuayboonchum, who had succeeded Somchai
Makmool. Renan Marques was the top marksman of an incredible 2016 season.
The side
consolidated their league standing at the top level of Thai football, as well as
lifting the FA Cup. The club were awarded the accolade when the competition was abandoned at the semifinal stage owing to the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
All four remaining sides became joint winners.
However, Sukhothai
won the draw to represent Thailand in the AFC Champions League in 2017, where
they defeated Yadanarbon of Myanmar before losing the playoff round to Chinese
side Shanghai SIPG.
The
legendary John Baggio then began to make his mark in the team after coach Makmool
was reappointed, before he was replaced by Pairoj Borwonwatanadilok. In May 2018, Chalermwoot Sa-ngapol was given the job as his side ended in eleventh spot with
Nelson Bonilla putting away the goals.
In October
2018, Ljubomir Ristovski was appointed as Sukhothai head coach before he was
replaced by a returning Pairoj before the end of the 2019 season. Thai football
changed to the European calendar in 2020-21, with the goals of Baggio not being
enough to prevent relegation for the side led by Surapong Kongthep.
Osman Sow made
his mark up front for the Fire Bats in 2021-22 as the side won promotion back
to Thai League 1 at the first attempt under the tutelage of coach Dennis Amato.
The team stayed up before the German tactician moved on.
Chusak
Sriphum came in to lead the team for 2023-24 before he was replaced by Sugao
Kambe a few months in. A returning Bonilla scored the goals to help Sukhothai
remain safe, despite some disharmony on and off the pitch, with fans being upset
with the club owners.
Aktaporn
Chalitaporn was given the job of head coach in June 2024, as the consistent
Baggio, in his second spell at the club, joined in the goalscoring effort
by Matheus Fornazari. Ekalak Thong-am was appointed as the Sukhothai head coach in March 2026.
Sukhothai FC
will play in the Thai League 1 in the 2025-26 season.
My visit
Sukhothai 1
Buriram United 2 (Sunday 6th April 2025) Thai League 1 (att: 6,095)
One of the
great pleasures of watching football has become my involvement in A Thai Football Podcast. The weekly airing encourages all sorts of topics of
conversation, with match reports from wherever anyone wants to send one in
being welcomed.
Dale, who
does an incredible job putting it together, has found contacts from goodness
knows where, which has led to friendships being made with other like-minded
individuals when catching up whenever visiting different parts of the country.
Bill Greaves is a prime example.
Bill, with
his Aberdonian and Canadian drawl, sends in some cracking reports full of
humour and smart observations. When my wife, Taew, looked at routes to return
from the annual Chiang Mai Cricket Sixes, the fixtures, and destinations
aligned perfectly, also offering the chance to see historic Sukhothai as part of our road trip.
Bill,
through Dale, got in touch and we enjoyed a phone chat a week before we met up,
with his good lady, Toy, sorting out the match tickets. Taew drove us down on
Sunday morning along a scenic route, before we checked into our rather
underwhelming resort, much to her disappointment.
Not to
worry, after a siesta, we were soon meeting our hosts in a noodle shop for a
quick beer. Bill’s original suggestion to go for a burger was scuppered as AJ’s
was shut, as was his alternative plan. He didn’t seem too upset as he enjoyed
being at the Thalay Luang Stadium with lots of time to spare.
The couple
could not have been more friendly or helpful. I had a wander about for photos
before returning to the car, which had been parked next to by other hospitable
regulars as a small tailgate party ensued with food and drink purchased from
the decent choice of stores.
I did my stuff
for the podcast with Bill offering his thoughts before he and Dtoy went inside a
little before us, so that he could manage the steps to our seat before it got
busy. The atmosphere was building once we joined them, with beers and the spicy
local thin sausage, which I quickly took a liking to.
The stadium
was also to my approval, with magnificent views of the mountains in the
distance and seats close to the pitch without a running track. The locals were
out in force and made a proper din against the big boys of Thai football, who
were firm favourites to win against their mid-table opposition.
Love or
dislike Buriram, they are an outstanding example of what money can provide with
star players, by far the biggest club stadium in the country, and honours
galore. The way that referees seemingly bend towards them is another matter,
but not unique to Thailand in the way the most powerful are accommodated.
The first
half saw almost incessant Buriram pressure. A couple of scrambles in the home
area somehow saw the ball being kept out by a mixture of desperation, luck,
brave defending, erratic goalkeeping from understudy Supazin Hnupichai, and poor finishing. It was not dull.
The home
Fire Bats were either about to be eaten up or come up with the greatest ‘rope a
dope’ performance ever. The tiny John Baggio and giant Matheus Fornazari formed
an unlikely double act, but on occasions, they caused concern to the visiting
rearguard.
It was like
an FA Cup tie back home, watching a non-league side take on a team from several
divisions higher. That’s how much of a gulf there can be at times in Thai
football. That said, at 0-0, Sukhothai always had a chance of a breakaway to
snatch a win that would have made for the perfect evening.
Soon into
the second half, Supazin made a super save from which Supachai Chaided blasted
the rebound over. A local friend of Bill was not enamoured by the number of
foreigners taking the field for Buriram. They are not a Thai club was the gist
of his observations.
The deadlock
was broken in the fiftieth minute, as the impressive Jefferson Tabinas went on
another forceful run down the left-hand side. His powerful cross was put away by
substitute Suphanat Mueanta for star-studded Buriram. Shortly after, Goran
Čaušić saw a shot smash off the top of the crossbar.
In the
sixty-fifth minute, the reigning champions doubled their advantage. Sukhothai
lost the ball in midfield, where it was quickly swept wide on the right. The
cross was chested home by Martin Boakye, with my thoughts being on the rest of
the game being a case a damage limitation.
The man
beside us was further narked when Buriram introduced another foreign star, Guilherme
Bissoli, into the action. His team didn’t stop believing and grabbed a goal in
stoppage time when the ball was dragged back for Hikaru Matsui to fire past
goalie Neil Etheridge.
However,
there was not enough time to raise any more attacks, with the result being
about the right outcome. Nobody could accuse the Sukhothai players of not
giving their all, but they were beaten by a better side, who edged closer to
the title.
We still had
plenty to look forward to. Our match tickets gave free admission to a concert
in the park behind the goal, which would see the extremely popular Thai band,
Clash, playing. Off we went as best we could through the crowds, losing our
hosts when we got split up.
Eventually,
we were inside the fenced-off area, but just as the band began to play, the
heavens opened, and huge winds blew across the open space. It got very cold,
wet, and dangerous, very quickly. It was scary for a while.
Particularly as the poles holding the large Chang beer banners began toppling over,
and Bill, in a seat, would not be able to get out of the way. We protected him
as best as we could with my large body attempting to perform as a wind break
while Taew used an umbrella over him as Toy went to retrieve the car.
The gig was
abandoned, leading to chaos as everyone wanted to leave at the same time. Dtoy
managed to get the car near, and I forced open the fencing so my friend could
access it quickly. We had a giggle inside the vehicle, but it had been quite an
experience.
The traffic
back towards the main roads was horrendous, taking us well over an hour before
Toy deposited us at the end of the lane by our accommodation. I had a coffee to
warm up before bed.
The
following morning, we had breakfast and covered the sites of the historical
park without paying to go inside them. It was a pleasant little tour offering
me some excellent video footage, before we headed to Kamphaeng Phet to meet
more friends for another lovely few hours.
Our thanks
go to Bill and Toy for their hospitality and for making the visit so special.
Kamphaengphet
FC is a professional football club that was formed in 2009 to represent the
Thai province of Kamphaeng Phet in the upper central region of the country.
The club
took up immediate residence at the Kamphaeng Phet Provincial Administrative
Organization (PAO) Stadium, otherwise known as Chakangrao Central Stadium in
the centre of town, becoming members of the third-tier Regional League Division
2 Northern Region.
In their
first three seasons, the ‘Cha Kung Rao Warriors’ finished in the lower reaches
of the division before ending in sixth place in 2012, before slipping back down the table over the following three campaigns.
A runners-up finish in 2016 earned the club a place in the Champions League playoffs, in which they saw
off Ayutthaya Warrior before falling to Surat Thani. When the Thai football
league structure was amended in 2017, Kamphaengphet were placed in Thai League
3 Upper Region.
Otsu
Kazutaka top-scored as the side ended in eleventh place. This performance was
repeated a year later with Badar Al-Alawi topping the goals charts. Kawin
Nuanthat then became the fans' favourite forward for a couple of seasons.
The first
ended in eighth place before the Thai League was again restructured with the calendar
following that of Europe. 2020-21 in Thai League 3 North saw the side finish
ninth under coach Saksan Siripong.
Sakdinan Makmuang
was put in charge of the team the following season, which again ended in a
lowly position, with Punyaphat Autha top scoring. A third consecutive ninth
place ensued in 2022-23. The goals were supplied by Kaung Htet Soe and Khwanchai
Bunprakhom as former coach Saksan returned.
Natthaphon
Yueayai led the way up front in 2023-24 before Khwanchai found his old touch in
2024-25, as the team completed a remarkable fifth consecutive ninth-place
finish. He continued his scoring run the following season, first under Saksan Siripong and then Sakdinan Makmuang as Kamphaengphet finished one place above relegation.
Kamphaengphet
FC will play in Thai League 3 North in the 2026-27 season.
My visit
Monday 7th
April 2025
Never being
one to miss an opportunity, a visit to see friends in Kamphaeng Phet saw an
early arrival in the town after a wonderful previous day and following morning
in Sukhothai as part of our road trip from Chiang Mai to Sisaket.
The reason
that Kamphaeng Phet was chosen was that an old journalist friend, Alan
Parkhouse, who had been of great assistance when I covered cricket media duties
at various tournaments in Thailand, was now living there. Even better, he and
his good lady, Phung, had got married a few days earlier.
The historic
park and area around the city shrine provided an immediate positive impression,
as did the Chakangrao Central Stadium. It was positioned just over the road
from the Ping River, offering a great location.
Inside the arena,
I was most impressed with how the original raised main stand had two large,
covered extensions on either side of it, making it stand out from many other
such provincial municipal venues that also have running tracks.
Opposite stood an open, raised terrace, while an unusually large detached block occupied one corner, as
was also the case when I visited Phitsanulok. That end of the venue had a High
School behind it, providing an enclosed feel.
A quality
lunch and then catch up with food with Alan and Phung ensued before we caught
up with them at their place the following morning, which will see their
steakhouse open in a pleasant area near the golf course. Hopefully, a return
was being planned by the ladies, which would include me seeing a football game!
Uttaradit FC, or TPF Uttaradit FC to give them their sponsored name, is a professional football club from the Thai city of the same name in the north of the country. The club was formed in 2009, playing their home games at Uttaradit Province Stadium.
The
‘Fighting Cocks’, as they were originally nicknamed, joined the Regional League
Division 2 Northern Region with Atithep Yoosawad appointed as coach, finishing fourth
in their debut campaign.
That was
repeated in 2011, after a season playing at Uttaradit Rajabhat University
Stadium, before returning to their original venue. Twelve months later, playing
under the name Uttaradit-Morseng, the team finished in seventh position.
Finishing third bottom was considered a disappointment in 2013.
Three more
midtable endings were then accumulated, with Noh Hyeong-cheol top scoring in
2016. The South Korean continued his scoring form in 2017, which saw Uttaradit compete in
Thai League 4 North following league restructuring, finishing fourth in the
table.
Diarra
Aboubacar Sidick, the Ivorian striker, would lead Uttaradit to the regional
title in 2018. However, the side fared badly in the Champions League playoffs.
They regrouped under head coach Vorrakorn Vijannarong in 2019 with the goals of
Giuberty Silva Neves helping the team retain their title.
Again, the
playoffs ended in disappointment for the ‘Broken Sword’. After another
reorganisation of the lower tiers, Uttaradit were placed in Thai League 3 North
in 2020-21, with the playing calendar being aligned with that in Europe. The
team ended in fourth position.
Chatchai
Narkwijit put away the chances in 2021-22 as Uttaradit Saksiam, as they were
known under a sponsorship deal, finished seventh after Chumnan Pharkunthud had
been appointed as head coach during the season.
Chaiwat Puengsiri
took charge of the side at the start of the 2022-23 campaign, as the goals of Phufah
Chuenkomrak helped the side to a runners-up finish. The playoffs ended in
disappointment. The TPF backing of the club was put in place before the 2024-25
season, as Nitipong Saiyasit was named as head coach.
He was replaced by Sorrasak Ratson for the following campaign before Theerawekin Seehawong took over in January 2026. Within a few matches, however, Anucha Chaiwong was appointed as Uttaradit reached the playoffs.
Uttaradit FC
will play in Thai League 3 North in the 2025-26 season.
My visit
Tuesday 25th
March 2025
The
opportunity to visit the Province Stadium in Uttaradit came about as my wife
Taew and I were staying at the far side of the town on our final stop of a
four-day road adventure from Sisaket to Chiang Mai.
We’d already
enjoyed the delights of an overnight stop in Loei, where I took in the Saturday
night match against Surin City, before a wonderful two nights in Chiang Khan,
which offered lots of fun and relaxation.
The road to
our strategic destination for the evening was dramatic at times, with plenty of
mountainous roads being travelled along. The scenery in parts was not unlike
deepest Wales or the Highlands of Scotland. Good for me, but undoubtedly more
testing for my good lady behind the wheel.
The stadium
impressed me when we turned into the complex off the main road. The main stand
was better than most, boosted by smart individual seats on its raised deck. The
raised open area opposite was more in keeping with other similar venues. The
trees that surrounded the arena gave it an enclosed feel.
Once I had completed
my videoing and photography, we headed to check in at our resort before taking
in some local attractions. Food was obtained at a
quaint department store to take back as we enjoyed a relaxed evening before the
final leg of our trip the following morning.
