2025 Nong Sung Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Wat Banphotkiri (Phu Chok Ko) is located on a mountain in Nong Sung District, Mukdahan Province. You have to climb 260 steps. This temple used to be the residence of Luang Pu La Khempatto, a senior monk in the Vipassana meditation tradition. After Luang Pu La passed away, the “Khempat Chedi” was built to contain his relics. It was completed in 1999. It is a bell-shaped chedi. The upper floor is a museum showing the history, works, and personal belongings. There is a wax figure of Luang Pu La Khempatto for Buddhists to pay homage. #Mukdahan #Wat Phu Chok Ko

“If you want to see, you have to go see. If you want to know, you have to ask. If you want to be beautiful, you have to dress up. If you want to be strong, you have to exercise.” 🙏 Wat Tham So, or as the locals call it, Wat Phu Pha Khao - Located in Ban Pao, Ban Pao Subdistrict, Nong Sung District, Mukdahan Province - It is a temple on a high mountaintop (you must use a private car because there is no shuttle service). - The way up is a narrow slope, making it difficult for cars to pass through. Be careful of accidents. - The car can go up to the parking lot (there are only a few parking spaces). - You have to walk up to the temple for about 1 kilometer (the slope is difficult for the elderly). 🙏 Once you get to the top, you will feel less tired. Pay homage to the carved stone Buddha statue and make an offering to the monks or join in the merit-making by building a monk’s hut. #triptakesyoutoflyandaskfornewyearblessings #Trip.com #Phu Pha Khao carved stone Buddha statue #Ban Pao Subdistrict #Nong Sung District #Mukdahan Province #Pleasefollow #TravelingDhammaBhikkhu

“Tears often flow when something gets in your eyes.” I would like to recommend “Wat Tham Champakantasilawat”, a temple where Luang Pu Sao Kantasilo used to stay during the Buddhist Lent as his place of meditation. It is a temple suitable for relatives and devotees to practice meditation. It is a temple located on a high mountain with a very beautiful view. When we drove up, we came to pay homage to Luang Pu Sao’s pagoda. When we enter the temple, we should be mindful and careful of our body and speech. You can travel to Ban Khan Tan, Nong Sung Subdistrict, Nong Sung District, Mukdahan Province. #triptakesyoutoaskfornewyearblessings #PhraThatChampa #WatPhraThatChampaKantasilawat #Nong Sung District #Mukdahan Province #Pleasefollow #DhammaTravelBhikkhu

#summerdream Anyone who likes waterfalls must go to Mukdahan at Tad Ton Waterfall. This Mukdahan tourist attraction is located in Nong Sung District, Mukdahan Province. The waterfall is not far from the main road. There is a clear sign showing the entrance before reaching the souvenir shop. But there is not much in the waterfall. You have to be well prepared before traveling. It is recommended to go during the rainy season because there will be a lot of water. If you go in other seasons, the water will be quite dry.

#Wat Tham So Som is located in Nong Sung District, Mukdahan Province, on the border of Roi Et Province. It is on the same mountain as Phra Chedi Chai Mongkol, Nong Phok District, Roi Et Province. If you go up to this temple from the village, you have to walk up, which may be a bit difficult. However, if you have an elderly person with you, we recommend going up to the shore from Nong Phok District. #unseenthailand Beautiful view, great atmosphere, during the winter, clouds float around us.
