Into the land of Naga !
Driving 1.5 hr from Udon thani city, this sacred place is an approximately 10 acres island full of thousand of taraw palms (while not a single one outside this region!). Locals believe that this island is the only gate connected between Naga realm and our world. Therefore, many people come here to praying for the prosperity of their life (to be precise, lottery). Visitors must take off their shoes and walk barefoot on the path decorated with a very long greenish naga into the (mystery) thick palm jungle island. On the island, there are a shrine of naga lord Sri- Sudtho (who created Mekong river in the local folktale) and a naga well (locals believe that its water is holy water which have a healing power and the well itself is very deep and connect to Mekong). After worship the shrine, ones may stroll around the island to absorb the mystery sylvan atmosphere. Be blessed by naga. P.S . Weather in the island is quite cold compare to hot weather outside the island

Wat Pa Kham Chanod
It is both a tourist attraction and a sacred source. All of them are believed here because it is an island in the middle of the water in the northeastern region. There is only one type of tree in the island. It is also a source of blessings. which is popular in Udon Thani For anyone who travels to Isan, I recommend this place.

mysterious...
the palm forest, the naga shrine, the belief of locals. the smell of smoke from incense stick. the sound of gong. the light of candles. ..this place is so charming and mysterious for some, but may be so haunting for many. i will definitely come back.
