Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Archaeological site
Ban Chiang
Ban Chiang is associated with important archaeological heritage and ceramic collections. The museum and open excavation areas provide context; ancient objects must never be taken as souvenirs.
Urban park
Nong Prajak Park
Nong Prajak is a lake surrounded by walks in Udon Thani. The shores are discovered from public spaces; facilities and animations evolve.
Lake
Red Lotus Sea
The Red Lotus Sea corresponds to Lake Nong Han Kumphawapi and its seasonal aquatic blooms. Their extent depends on natural conditions; outings are confirmed with authorized operators.
Temple
Wat Pa Phu Kon
Wat Pa Phu Kon occupies a wooded relief in the province of Udon Thani. The religious buildings and views are discovered with a suitable outfit, according to the authorized accesses.
