1. OK Corral Khao Yai

Reviewed By kevinhall111 - Bangkok, Thailand
We brought our 8 year old girl to OK for 1.5 hour lesson. She had never rode before. Little did we know what a treat this turned out to be. Trainer Khun Joe is truly amazing - the way he explained how to handle horses, what to do and what not to do. My daughter felt safe and confident under his guidance and within an hour she was riding a trotting horse with ease. Very impressive. My wife and I can't say enough on how wonderful Khun Joe is as a riding instructor. (He is Thai but fluent in English). The added bonus is the ranch itself and the excellent trails attached. The only problem is that all my daughter wants to talk about now is going back to OK Corral.
2. Phimai Historical Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 572 reviews
This 12th-century temple is similar in structure to Angkor Wat.
Reviewed By jelinicivana - London, United Kingdom
Not as big as Ayutthaya or Sukhotai, but well worth a visit. The temple is just stunning! Phimai was an outpost of the Khmer empire and that is why the temple was built in Khmer architecture. Also, I learned there that Angkor Wat was inspired by this temple in Phimai! How very cool! Recommend visiting at any time, especially in the late afternoon as there are fewer tourists. Also, worth stopping and having a walk around Phimai, it is rather cute itself.

A must visit place if you are in the region in December. This is a large farm, with plenty of beautiful scenery for your Instagram or Facebook. Plan for 1 full day here as there are so much to see and take photos. We came slightly before lunch and didn't have enough time to fully explore this place. Plenty of local food choices are available at the entrance if you are hungry. There are also plenty of regular free shuttle buses that will take you to various stations or you can try to walk from area to area. This is definitely a fun place to visit for everyone.
5. Wat Ban Rai

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.

It is decorated with local Dan Kwian clay tiles and tells the life of Buddha on the wall, the door is also made of metal. Inside the hall there is a large statue of Buddha. Wat Sala Loi in Nakhon Ratchasima is situated 500 meters from Rop Mueang Road.Opening hours: Daily 08.30 - 16.30
7. Haew Narok Waterfall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 99 reviews
Reviewed By Raintree_Thailand - Bangkok, Thailand
Haew Narok Waterfall is hugely impressive -- IF you visit in rainy season! The amount of water thundering over the rocks is incredible and the drop is high enough to be very memorable. But a few warnings: 1. In dry season, the "falls" reduce to a trickle and there is really no reason to bother hiking to them. 2. The 1-kilometer trail going to the upper point of the falls is paved and very easy walking, but you don't see any part of the falls from the upper drop point. 3. The only way to actually see the falls is to climb down the steep steps (100+) to the view points below the falls. Some visitors who not in shape or who are concerned by steep steps, may find the climb down and back up to be more than they want to bite off, but the climb should be manageable for most people. The stairs are solid concrete and there are good handrails. 4. In rainy season, the mist from the falls is heavy and you will get a bit wet, with glasses, phones and cameras at risk of being soaked. 5. Rainy season is the time for leaches and, allow the park staff keep the trail swept pretty clean, you may encounter leaches now and then. Watch out for them and try to brush off before they start their lunch.

Impressive sunflowers You do need to do a bit of research via their website (FB page -google translate) to see when is the flowers full bloom Think they plant 2 times around Nov - Feb . When we were there , our driver told us a plot of withered fields was for the sunflower exhibition in Dec . And the one we visited was on the other side of the land . We came during the bloom peak and from a distance the yellow flower was glaringly bright . There is an entrance fee of 80 baht/pax . Some stalls selling products like sunflower seeds / drinks etc . At the flower fields , there are a few props for your photo shoot . Remember to climb up the higher platforms to take an overview of the place . Wear your sun protection as it gets very hot on a cloudless day
10. Phimai Historical Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
Reviewed By DickZe - Bangkok, Thailand
In Isan town of PhiMai you will find this historical site with a temple complex from the Khmer period. It is very nice and well kept. Also quiet, at least when we were there so the visit is very relaxed. Entrance fee is 100 baht for foreigners and 20 baht for Thai nationals. There is parking space at the entrance. A visit will take just over one hour, but is well worth doing.
