Red Lotus lake

Reviewed By CoffeeChill - Sunshine Coast, Australia

On the Red Lotus Lake in Udon Thani, one can go a relaxing, short safari, 'boat on the river' ride, to check out a curious blend of flora and fauna, And the experience is very much, up close and personal, which is great. Additionally there is a nice little mix of cafes and street hawker style shops, close to the water, plus an interesting rainbow coloured jetty, also worth a look. All in all, it really is the proverbial 'hidden gem' (check out my YouTube Vlog), in my opinion. And, one of any in the eternally surprising Isaan (Northeastern) region of Thailand. I will be back.

Phu Prabhat Historical Park

Reviewed By ZacharyMarret

I went here on a day trip from Udon Thani, and I had a great time. There was almost nobody there so I had the trails mostly to myself. It was incredible to walk among the rocks and marvel at them, as well as the cave paintings and shrines set within them, by myself. The surrounding forest was beautiful and made a great environment for a hike. Highly recommended.

Pa Phu Kon Temple

Reviewed By Dao1949 - Chiang Mai, Thailand

We have seen many Buddhist Wats in our years of travelling around Thailand. This one located on a mountaintop in Isan, near Udan Thani was really impressive. It appeared to be very newly constructed but immaculately created. The architecture of this Wat was very dramatic in size and design with numerous enormous bronze sculptures of huge Yaks and Dragons around the premises. Once inside, I saw the best sculpture of a reclining Buddha that I have ever viewed in Thailand. The features were exquisitely created and the human form was executed very well too.
