Udon Thani 2 days 1 night
Udon Thani 2 days 1 night is enough
Udon Thani is another very prosperous province in the northern Isan region. This place is full of beautiful lifestyles, cultures, and nature.
Today, I would like to take everyone to travel around Udon Thani from another perspective, traveling from the north to the south. Because I believe that there are still many people who want to visit Udon but do not know where to go. Especially during the rainy season, I would like to take you to visit Udon in the Green Season. Today, I have a weekend travel plan for you. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. It is a little bit of a drive, but it is very worthwhile.

Phu Thao Thong Temple, a new landmark for spiritual people in Udon Thani 🌟
#Songkran2024TouristAttractionPhu Thao Thong Temple, Udon Thani 🌟
A new landmark for spiritual people. The temple covers an area of over 15 rai, with most of the temple being a stone courtyard with 30 large, strangely-shaped rocks. It is believed that this area used to be the sea, but was later raised to become a stone courtyard and ground.
The highlight is the Bokkhorani pond or the Indigo Pond, a pond that is
located between two rocks, the gateway to the treasure trove, and a golden naga named "Phaya Mucalinda Naga" with 7 heads and a bright golden body enshrined above the Bokkhorani pond, which was built by Luang Pho according to his vision.
There must have been a group of animal herders or hunters who used this area as a route for hunting, as there were palm prints found next to a large rock in the shape of an ancient junk.
The Fine Arts Department has inspected it and confirmed that it is more than 2,500 years old, which is similar to Pha Taem.
Of Ubon Ratchathani Province, it is considered very unseen. Stop by
to pray for blessings, good luck, and fortune.

Khao Chong Chat Temple, Nong Wua So District, Udon Thani Province
The beautiful Big Buddha Temple. Driving into Nong Wua So District, looking to the right, I saw a big white Buddha statue on the mountain. So I opened it on Google Maps and drove to stop by on the way back to Udon Thani. It is a temple with a chapel inside the big Buddha statue. Climb the stairs to the top. On the cliff on the left, there are many Buddha statues. Walk up to get some fresh air and see the view at Pha Sam Phaen Din (be careful). It is called Pha Sam Phaen Din because you can see the area where 3 provinces meet: Udon Thani, Nong Bua Lamphu, and Khon Kaen. Make merit by taking flowers, incense, and candles downstairs and then bring them to pay homage upstairs. Don't forget to stop by to pay homage to the principal Buddha statue at the entrance on the side of the big Buddha statue on the left.

Traveling in the rainy season is this good. This time, during the rainy season, let's visit Huai Luang Dam, Udon Thani. The picture was taken at around 5:00 p.m. when the weather was nice. After the rain, the grass was green as far as the eye could see, contrasting with the white fence. I guarantee that you will get beautiful pictures to check in and have fun. As for the top of the dam, there is a long road. The dam is also beautiful for taking pictures. But we didn't go up because we were only there for a short while. We'll go again next time. Let's go, everyone. 🫶🏻🌳
Easy booki
Easy booking, affordable prices, and hassle-free. Even though I've never booked before, I still managed to fly. Amazing service, very impressive, and lots of promotions, too. #NongWuaSo
