4.5Wat Tham Klong Phen(16 reviews) - A must see temple in Nong Bua Lam Phu Province Points of Interest & Landmarks
I am an American who has lived in Nong Bua Lam Phu over 5 years. I enjoy photographing and visiting temples throughout Thailand and this is one of my favorites. It's not actually in Nong Bua Lam Phu, but about 13-14km to the turn-off on the road (Route 210) to Udon Thani. At the turn-off you will see a large sign and from there it is about a 2km drive back to the temple. This is such a peaceful place, not many visitors, so you can leisurely take in the surrounding beauty of the temple and the grounds. This temple "Klong Pen" means a two-sided ancient drum, and you will see a replica as you explore the Ubosot (Main hall). The temple itself has been constructed in and around a large cave in the side of the mountain. I think you will find this to be a worthwhile place to visit as you visit, or pass through Nong Bua Lam Phu Province.See more..
4.0Wat Tham Erawan Temple(13 reviews) - The views are worth the hike... Points of Interest & Landmarks
The concrete path/611 steps up to the cave are in good shape with several places to take a break if you need to. The hike is pretty easy and can be done in about 15 minutes. The path/steps in the interior of the cave can be very slick in spots, so watch out. Generally, the cave is lit, but to be safe, I'd carry a flashlight (phone light would work okay if the power goes out). The views from the two cave entrances on opposite sides of the mountain are worth the hike. Baht 20 is the suggested donation for the utilities. Remember to have proper attire (long pants and sleeved shirt) if you are going to enter the Wat's temples. Not a bad drive from our home in Mueang Loei, about an hour.See more..
4.5Wat Tham Suwannakhuha(8 reviews) - Monkeys and the Temple Points of Interest & Landmarks
We had previously decided that this was a must having not been able to visit this temple on a previous trip to Thailand as we were to far away..Now my wife has a fascination with monkey's why I dont know as having read on TripAdvisor that we were both going to get savaged by over weight monkeys I was dubious about going anywhere near them......Well I dont know what other visitors had done to them during their visit but I can assure you they were as good as gold, yes they did snatch bags of food from you and run off up the nearest tree to devour it other than that no problems what so ever even the mothers carrying the babies were good. The temple itself is spectacular set in a cave it contains many large statues of Buda and a calming atmosphere of tranquility with the opportunity to take many pictures. The grounds surrounding the cave are beautiful filled with brightly coloured golden buildings set in the backdrop of the cliffs. Also a verity of shops at the entrance to the attraction where you can buy a refreshing cold drink as the heat is quite unbearable all together a fantastic day out well worth it.See more..
