We arrived in the province of Prachin Buri (a province just east of Bangkok) yesterday. Today we visited the Chao Phya Abhalbhubejhr Hospital. (No that is not a typo) This hospital is known for its Thai herbal medicines and treatments. During our visit we were able to see how the medicines are dispensed, manufactured and we even had the opportunity to visit one of the farms where they receive some of the herbs that they use in practice! One of the coolest things about this hospital is that it was originally built for royalty, specifically King Rama V! It is easily one of the prettiest places we have been on this trip and the butterfly pea drink is delicious!
