About two hours north of Khon Kaen, you'll find one of Thailand's hidden gems in the middle of nowhere (although Ratchasima is not far). Have have been to temples all over the country to include the Blue and White Temples, Temple of Truth, Silver temples of Chang Mai. I have to say, this was worth the trip. It reminds me of the Blue Temple as far as art and design. I loved it! There is so much going on in the murals and sculptures that adorn the outside of the temple; there are Hindu, Buddhist, and possibly more references. The basement looks like you could have a rave party, while the rest is like a museum on the floors above. The giant Naga statues at front are amazing! I've wanted to go here for years, and am glad I finally made the trip.

I visited the winery with my fiancé to look for wines for our wedding next year. The winery is run by a mother, father and son trio, who have all spent time in Australia and/or America studying oenology. We were greeted by the mother before we even got to the front door! The wine tasting on offer was more than reasonable at 100 baht per person and the process and story of making each wine was explained in great detail. They even offer their wines with your own customised labels for occasions such as weddings and have plenty of examples on display. I'm really glad we made the trip out to Alcidini and would recommend to all.

A quiet peaceful temple for local prayers; The main temple is at the top of the mountain and needs more than 600 steps of climbing to reach the top of the main mountain temple. The lower ground temple is full with peacock's bird; The birds are not in the center of temple. Its roaming all over the temple vicinity and nearby. There's also a lot of different kinds of chicken species roaming all over the places. You can take photos quite close to the peacocks & very surreal. Therefore, you need to walk around the temple vicinity to find them in high and low resting places all over. The temple will close around 5.30PM;

This is a modern temple built as his life's work by a much loved Thai actor. It is 95 per finished - 'though the magnificent, well tended gardens and lakes are complete. Beneath a gilded dome the largest building contains a huge golden statue of his holiness Prah Puttajarn (Toh Brahmarangsri), a reverend of Rakang Temple from the reign of king Rama IV. The attention to detail is remarkable and all of the pathways are decorated with inset ceramic flowers. There is no charge but a small donation is welcome. We spent over an hour here before being driven away by a tropical downpour.

Reviewed By Johnmagfam - Singapore, Singapore
Tip: arrive earlier in December as sun sets earlier during year end. We arrived 5.45pm thinking the bat would not start streaming till 6.30pm but it started about 6.15pm. All the reviews here are accurate so no point repeating, however has to say that even local drivers are not too familiar. My driver was from Bangkok and he has to call back his colleagues for direction. Feeling annoyed I typed "Batcave road" and the same Batcave viewing road came up and we were assured we were at right place. So google map works here, of course u must have data and GPS turned on. Must see because it's a natural phenomena and even zoos unlikely can create such feat!! Can they? Maybe.
