2. 5.0 Bueng Kan Tours (10 reviews)
   - Awesome day with breathtaking view
   Monday: 5:00 AM - 5:00 PM Cultural Tours • Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Day Trips
   
   
   Bueng Kan Tours is the only tour that I could find in Bueng Kan, and the best thing is free pick up and drop off at your hotel. As I wanted to see both Phu Tok and Phu Sing mountains, so I booked a day tour for this including Beung Khong Long Lake where we had our lunch there. It was not the best weather to travel last week due to the ‘uncommonly’ cold weather, but the best thing is you still gotta see the breathtaking view after sweat-free climbing especially way up to Phu Tok Mountain. On the other hand Shane is a great company and he knows all the hidden track/best view of the places we went. And he is a good photographer too, thanks to him I got a few cool shots! I’d book with Bueng Kan Tours if I visit to Issan region again, probably will arrange a personalised trip in other North East part in the future. Thanks to Bueng Kan Tours for the great memory!

3. 5.0 Three Whale Rock (7 reviews)
   - OMG this needs to be a Thailand landmark
   Geologic Formations
   
   
   This place is so breathtaking I’m surprised it’s not more well known. The “3 whales” are 3 gigantic rocks sticking out of a cliff: the Father, Mother & Baby Whales. Visitors can walk out on the Father & Mother, not the Baby. The Father protrudes out furthest and is the narrowest, but strangely it’s not as vertigo inducing as the Mother which is wider but with sloping sides so you are aware you can slip off and fall 300 meters to the valley below! Photo tip is to stand on the Father rock & let someone take the photo from the Mother rock. The rocks are part of a national park complex that has other beautiful spots too, like Elephant Rock, etc. At the ticket office you can rent an entire pickup truck for 500 baht (driven by the park ranger guides) and they have designed stops along the way.

5. 4.5 Wat Phu Tok (92 reviews)
   - Place for isolating, meditating and purifying your mind
   Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
   
   
   This meditation place is amazing about steps with roof paving through the cliff to the top. Along the walkway, there are space for strict monks to meditate, purify their minds from our real world motivation to reach nirvana. The temple vicinity isshady eith trees but on the way to the top , there is steps with wooden ladders , categorized to 7 floor according to 7 tiered buddhist heaven. Please start your day early in yhe morning , the temple opens at 8am for visitors , it’s a bit physical demanding for clombing up and bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. 5th floor is best place for getting rest before heading up to 6th and 7th floor, the top is only forest without may manmade conrtuctions, and.walkway on the 6th foor is a bit narrow and altitude high defying the gravity.

   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   This wat is grand with large strange rock formations. It is so close to Laos that you feel you are in Laos. Walk through the rock formations, walk into town and find great food, relax and meditate on the Mekong river waters. See more..
   
7. 4.5 Phu Sing Bueng Kan (9 reviews)
   - Newly grand opening Hin Sam Wan( 3 whale shaped rocks phi Sing National park
   Spent More than 3 hours Mountains
   
   
   This unseen, newly opened tourist attraction in Bueng Kan , highlighted with Hin Sam Wan (whale shaped rocks). It’s in Phu Sing National park, so it’s about 1 hrs drive from Muang Bueng kan , parking your vehicle at provided space then contacting the officer for 4 wheeled drive car to tour on Phusing with price500baht/car. Car accommodates 4 people at front and about 6-10 pax on back. First stop is view point to inspire panoramic view of lower plain and if you come early at 5am in the morning , it’s spot for seeing sunrise among clouds. Nearby highlight Hin Sam Wan(3 whale shaped rocks) is on waking distance, we can go on 2 father and mother whale rocks, it’s cool upthere but too hot and sweaty among sunlight. After that, hopping on car to next stop Phu Sing gate, it’s natural colummns of rocks where cool breeze flow through with view of forest. The last stop is sacred well ( Sang). It’s very amazing.

8. 4.5 Tham Phra Waterfall (6 reviews)
   - Cool Place, Rocks get Slippery
   Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Waterfalls
   
   
   I enjoyed the area quite a bit. It is a good hike and the ground is uneven so not for people with mobility problems. The best time to go is after rain (I go pretty often) because the water levels are higher. This unfortunately also makes the rocks and ground very slippery. I recommend bringing a change of clothes, good shoes with tread for the hike to the waterfall and sandals or flip flops for once you are there. Great place for photo opportunities just be careful with your equipment. My first time there I slipped off the shores edge and into the small river. Luckily the camera I was using was waterproof and I had left my bag with other belongings away from the shoreline. See more..
