We found the complex’s geometric layout, incorporated Thai designs and the well-maintained grounds all definite reasons to visit. Our recognition and respect to the local supporters and patrons of this wat. We spent easily over an hour walking all parts of the complex site.
2. Pha Taem National Park

Entrance to the park, it has been said, is 400 baht for foreigners, and I don't care. Thai should be able to see their own stuff and the foreigner can be asked for support. Once inside you first stop off at Sao Chaliang, an interesting structure of huge rocks atop one another. From there you can take a short walk to enjoy the view and see a deep crack in the rock. Then you can drive a few kilometers to the visitor center to take a walk along the trail to see the rock paintings. According to one guide the first two are the most interesting, meaning an 800 meter walk. You can follow the trail back to the parking, total 4,1 km, but we did not do that. There is quite some climbing and an uneven path involved. The illustrations themselves are vague but still well preserved and an amazing 3000-4000 years old. Of course there is more to see and explore in the park, it depends on how much time you want to spend. The above will take about 1,5 hours.
3. Sam Phan Bok

What you are looking at is actually the river bed of Mae Khong river, which fills in the month September. When the river withdraws the rock structures (Sam Phan bok = 3000 holes) become visible that have been formed already 110.000.000 years ago. It is a fascinating landscape and of course people see all sorts of significance in the shapes, meaning a Mickey Mouse hole, a heart, the number 800, the Grand Canyon etc. See what you want to see and enjoy he unusual shapes. There is no entrance fee. Although it is walkable I would recommend taking a pick-up (200 baht for the whole car) and we were joined by a sweet 7-year old (!) guide who gave a very good explanation, albeit only in Thai. You can tip whatever you like, we gave 100 baht which was probably over-generous, but it is lovely to see this young enterprise.

I have ever been there both at daytime and nighttime. To get photos at daytime you will get the original colors of the Wat(temple) and at nighttime, you will get the more fantastic lights for photos

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 31 reviews
Thailand is a country very rich in the arts. One annual festival which definitely showcase the skills of Thai artists is the Candle Festival, held in Ubon Ratchathani, in the Northeastern part of Thailand. The main event is the Candle possession which takes place on the full moon of July which marks the beginning of Buddhist Lent. You will see huge pieces of sculpture carved out of beeswax candles, decorated with Thai elements and often depicting characters from Thai and Hindu myths and folklores. There is usually a competition and exhibition for these candle sculptures and artists from all over the world come to Thailand to participate. It is a beautiful event that visitors should not miss.

Me and my fiancee have just gotten engaged. So I though this would be a nice place to take some kneeling pictures. And I thought correct. There are alot of fun shoots you can get here. I would recommend to bring a holder for your camera/phone to get some really nice angles. They have air condition and it is 180 bath in entry fee per person and the got a garage for easy parking. Recommend this very much.

Visited today & what a stunning Wat this is, there is a huge gong outside eith lots of flag emblems & the Wat is really beautiful. It was worth the drive over from Ubon. Luckily we managed to avoid the large bus tour that had visited just prior to our arrival. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
