    This temple is said to be dated from some time around the 9th century. It is beutiful, and a good place to visit. Avoid major festive days, as it can get very crowded. The park next door is used as a back-drop for photoshoots - very interesting to do some people watching. See more..

  8. 4.0 Khong Kut Wai Fish Sanctuary (7 reviews)
    - Peaceful.
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    Khong Kut Wai Fish Sanctuary image
    Amazing place to see big fish up close and personal. But some fish food nearby and just throw it into the river. You'll be amazed at what happens next. Big fish appear from below to feed. I think maybe catfish but not sure. These fish are around 3 or 4 ft in length. Get the camera out and get snapping. Recommended for anyone. Seen locals there Sith small children. It's free but you have to pay a small charge for parking and for good for the fish. Just a small load of bread. If you don't want to buy the bread you can take your own. See more..
  9. 4.0 Kae Dam Wooden Bridge (6 reviews)
    - To get to the other side!
    Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Bridges
    Kae Dam Wooden Bridge image
    People claim the Kae Dam bridge is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand and who am I to argue? It's definitely very cool! Low-tech, rough, a bit whobbly, and uneven; it looks like it could have been built by a bunch of kids on a lark. But, that's all part of the appeal and, in fact, it's fundamentally quite sturdy. The bridge, which is actively used by locals on a daily basis, meanders across a beautiful wetland, with lots of lotus plants and flowers. See more..
  10. 4.0 Isan Arts and Culture Centre (6 reviews)
    - This is a buzzing little city
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    Isan Arts and Culture Centre image
    Maha Sarakham for me was a great place to spend the week, the food was fantastic and I only ever ate at the plethora of street vendors. Take a trip to the night markets ,although there is little in the way of unique goods, the atmosphere is great with families out and about. There is a half reasonable bar scene happening too along the canal in town and on Thursday night it was jumping,the various bars and eateries were overflowing with university students. So in short when out and about in Thailand on holiday please don't forget the North East it is worth the effort. Will I go back.....yes See more..
  11. 4.0 Chaloem Phra Kiat Public Park (5 reviews)
    - Playground, exercise and park
    Spent 1-2 hours Parks • Playgrounds
    A nice park, with various exercise equipment, playground with playhouses, slides, possibilities for climbing and swings, and pavilions with benches to sit down in protected from the sun. Also toilets in the south eastern corner of the park. Pros: A nice park for a picnic, to play for children or exercise. Free, including going to the toilet. Clean and tidy, grass irrigated keeping it green in the dry season. Cons: Some of the playground equipment was broken, plastic slides cracked and chain holding a bridge was broken. See more..
  12. 4.0 Mahasarakham Model Railway (4 reviews)
    - An eccentricity in Issan
    Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
    Mahasarakham Model Railway image
    An expat from the UK, Alan has immersed himself in his hobby (or passion) for model railways, capturing something of the 1950's in Yorkshire. Alan has more 'rolling stock' in little locomotives & carriages than his laid out rail line can accommodate, despite an innovative figure of eight arrangement that can surprise & delight the viewer. The model buildings all capture something of ones that really exist in the UK while giving a sense of a community in the coalfields. This display may leave Thai nationals bewildered but can transport farang to childhood memories. See more..
  13. 4.0 Wat Phuttha Mongkhon (3 reviews)
    - Small Tree Temple
    Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites
    Wat Phuttha Mongkhon image

    - Ancient Buddha Statue
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    Wat Phra Yuen (Standing Buddha Temple) is one of the popular temple where locals would go and make merit. There is an ancient Buddha statue in standing post. The temple area is not that large. At the time I visited in the afternoon, it was quiet and not many people. One should visit Phra Ming Mueng temple nearby but unfortunately I had not enough time to visit both temple on that day.
