1. 5.0 Nakee Cave (3 reviews)
   - Enchanted place
   Caverns & Caves
   
   
   Located within Phu Langka national park, the Nakee Caves is the sister version to the Naga Caves on the other side of the Phu Langka mountain range. Nakee, or Nagini, refers to a female Naga. Visitors can walk in, no need for any advance booking like the Naga Caves. Nakee Caves has about 9 Naga/Nakee rocks. Each group needs a park ranger to act as a guide. The trek up and down takes about 3-4 hours, the way up is fairly easy for someone who is fit, but the way down has some steep sections. The entire area has a enchanted mystical atmosphere, with pilgrims believing in the sacredness and the legends of the cursed King Ue Le which the guide can tell you about. See more..

4. 5.0 Tat Pho Waterfall (1 review)
   - น้ำตกสวยเย็นฉ่ำ :)
   Spent 2-3 hours Waterfalls
   ตอนไปเป็นช่วงที่มีเด็กๆมาตั้งแคมป์พอดีค่ะ เป็นวันธรรมดา ธรรมชาติมาก น้ำตกสวย แต่ระหว่างทางเดินต้องระมัดระวังให้มากค่ะ มีโอกาสลื่นสูง เพราะลื่นมาแล้ว ><
   ทางขึ้นแบ่งเป็นชั้นๆ แต่ลัชั้นใช้ระยะเวลาการเดินเท้าไม่เท่ากันค่ะ แต่มีน้ำตกทุกชั้น จากชั้นล่างสุด ขึ้นไปชั้นบนสุดจะเจอเจดีย์ ห่างประมาณ 4 กิโล TT เดินไม่ถึงค่ะ ไม่ไหว กลับลงก่อน == See more..

6. 5.0 Unity Rally (1 review)
   - The best and only craft beer bar in town with fresh beer on tap
   Tuesday: Spent 2-3 hours Breweries
   
   
   If you have been touring in Nakhon Phanom all day and want to moisten your dry throat; I have the perfect place for you. There is one bar; well hidden away in a small back alley (ask for the football field) behind Kasikorn Bank on Aphiban Buncha Road. It is the only craft beer bar in Nakhon Phanom with beers on tap. They also have a nice selection of imported bottles and cans. The place is nice, cosy and the staff speaks good english. They are beer lovers and you can have a good conversation about craft beer with them if you are an enthusiast. This is a must-go-to place in Nakhon Phanom. See more..
   
7. 5.0 Wat Phra in Plaeng (1 review)
   - ไหว้พระทำบุญ
   Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites
   อยู่ติดริมแม่น้ำโขง เป็นสถานที่ไหว้พระ ทำกิจกรรมในวันสำคัญทางพระพุทธศาสนา เคยไปไหว้พระ เวียนเทียนตอนสมัยเรียน See more..
   
8. 4.5 Wat Phra That Phanom (190 reviews)
   - Divinely graceful temple
   Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM Religious Sites
   
   
   This is considered Isan’s holiest and most revered temple, visitors arriving would come here first to pay respects. The temple is about an hour’s drive south of Nakorn Phanom city and airport. There is ample parking, and a small market in front. The stupa itself exudes an aura of grace and beauty, the tiled courtyard floor around it is surprisingly cool to walk barefoot on a hot sunny day. The current stupa is a newer one, the ruins of the original is in front and was destroyed in an earthquake. Locals say the stupa was built by women in competition with another stupa built by men on the Lao side See more..
   
9. 4.5 Wat Maha That Temple (96 reviews)
   - ots of gold
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   A handsome temple with a traditional Lao style stupa. Around the stupa there are endless gilded nagas (including some with birds nests growing out of their mouths) but the big surprise is that there is a door leading into a room under the tower itself decorated with a riot of gold leaf on the many statues of the Buddha. A really worthwhile visit - allow a good hour. See more..
   
10. 4.5 Paya Sri Satta Nakarat (62 reviews)
    - Quite a large snake!
    Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
    
    
    Similarly to many South East Asian waterside cities - Singapore the Merlion, Songkla the green naga - Nakon Phanom has a particularly fine gilded, seven-headed naga as its signature monument spurting water and clearly respected by the populace. Lots of photos opportunities here too by day or by night See more..
    
11. 4.5 Wat Phra That Renu Nakhon (36 reviews)
    - Wat Phra That Renu
    Religious Sites
    
    
    Big pink pagoda named Renu is renowned. In the nearby area, there is a big lord of Buddha. You can pay tribute to the pagoda See more..
    
12. 4.5 Phra That Tha Uthen (18 reviews)
    - Nice white
    Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
    
    
    About 20-30 minutes from the downtown. It’s a beautiful white . This is the tallest phrathat in Nakorn Pranom. Who was born on Saturday, should visit here. See more..
    
13. 4.5 San Lak Mueang Nakorn Phanom (10 reviews)
    - The city pillar of Nakhon Phanom
    Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    Every Thai visitor comes to worship the pillar as a symbolic gesture to pay homage to the city god. Worth a visit. See more..
    
14. 4.5 Dinosaur Footprints Park at Tha Uthen (7 reviews)
    - Dinosaur Footprints Learning Centre
    Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Educational sites
    
    
    Dinosaur and crocodile Footprints were discovered in Tha Uthen. They are displayed together with dinosaur and crocodile statues. So we can see the directions they were walking. There are many footprints and also descriptions on Posters which are old and some texts are missing. Hope that the Tourism of Thailand would amend that. By the way, I found that it is quite interesting, especially for kids, to stop by and visit this place while traveling along the Khong River. See more..
    
15. 4.5 Wat Phra That Si Khun (6 reviews)
    - พระธาตุประจำคนเกิดวันอังคาร

16. 4.5 Phra That Maha Chai (6 reviews)
    - The Biggest Wooden Buddha in Thailand that You'll Never See.
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    The biggest wooden Buddha image in Thailand can be located in Wat Phrathat Mahachai, but unfortunately it is kept locked up and nobody can view it. However, the huge temple grounds are clean and peaceful, and is a pleasant place to stroll around and admire the various statues of temple 'guardians' around each wihan. See more..
    
17. 4.5 Phu Langka National Park (4 reviews)
    - BEAUTIFUL Place
    Speciality & Gift Shops
    
    
    We were visiting friends in Thailand and our friends took us here to walk around on the way back to the hotel from a lake. Wonderful sites to see and a very relaxing picnic area. There is a hike to the top but that is a bit of a hike, we did not have that much time. Stop by if you are ever in the area. See more..
    
18. 4.5 Ho Chi Minh House (4 reviews)
    - Fascinating
    History Museums
    I didn't know the Uncle Ho had spent around three years in this modest safe house in the quiet village on Ban na Chok outside Nakhon Phanom. Apparently the village had been settled by Vietnamese immigrants for some 200 years. Paradoxically the area was central to US forces in the American efforts to defeat the Viet Cong during the Viet Nam war - the Thais fearing that Viet Nam was aiming to to destabilise the country.

19. 4.5 Forum Cafe (2 reviews)
    - Best espresso in town
    Coffeehouses
    
    
    Having tried many alternatives, I genuinely believe this to be the best coffee in town. This is an owner-operated shop with an owner who cares about his coffee. Clean and tidy with free wifi. See more..
    
20. 4.5 Wat Trai Mit (2 reviews)
    - Il Budda d'oro
    Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites
    
    
    White buddhist temple in north east thailand. See more..
    
21. 4.5 Nakhon Phanom cycleway (2 reviews)
    - Bikeabout on the Mekong River
    Spent 2-3 hours Biking Trails
    
    
    I love an easy bicycle ride in the morning. Even better on a designated bike path, coupled with a natural landmark for a backdrop. Well the Nakhon Phanom Walking Street Bicycle Track ticks these boxes, plus others including curious architectural sights, cool cafes, friendly locals and modest (daytime) congestion. I was able to hire a bike from my hotel (Pornpiang) and looking forward to heading back soon. See more..
    
22. 4.0 Thai-Vietnamese Friendship Village (44 reviews)
    - Nice Memorial Alter and Gardens
    Neighborhoods
    
    
    Beautiful landscape and new concrete buildings replicating “Chinese style” buildings. Having a small theater showing a short 15 minute video telling about Hồ Chí Minh’s life ( in English & Thai) would be more interesting than exhibiting a wall of b&w photographs; for, he did live an interesting life that most people are not aware of. Not worth a special trip unless you have plenty of time . The small Mekong River Aquarium is nearby( 30 baht only) which can be a included in your day’s excursion in this area. See more..
    
23. 4.0 Saint Anna Nong Saeng Catholic Church (37 reviews)
    - A brief visit
    Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals
    
    
    A brief visit out of hours as one of several stops. I noticed on other reviews that it was closed so have attached a photo of their open hours. Mon to Fri from 06:15, Sat from 06:30 and Sun from 07:00 and again from 19:00. The grounds are clean & well maintained but unable to enter the church. From photos contributed we will have to visit again. See more..
    
24. 4.0 The 3rd Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge (36 reviews)
    - Another Thai-lao Bridge
    Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Bridges
    
    
    The bridge is nothing spectacular but the shrine is worth a stop. Best to go early in the morning when there are few people around. See more..
    
25. 4.0 Nakhon Phanom Provincial Governor's Residence Museum (31 reviews)
    - Nice place
    Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Government Buildings
    
    
    Story of grandma Toom was very toughing. Good memory how Thai people respect to the king Rama 9. King of the king. See more..
    
26. 4.0 Mekong Underwater World (24 reviews)

27. 4.0 Wat Okat Si Bua Ban (10 reviews)
    - See ancient statues of Buddha housed here.
    Religious Sites
    
    
    I had never been to this particular Wat (Temple) before. This is the most northern of the five temples on what I call "Temple Road." It is within easy walking distance from the Indochine Market another popular tourist attraction in Nakhon Phanom on the banks of the Mekong River. This Wat has two famous statues of Buddha worth seeing but they are housed behind a stainless steel structure to protect them. The grounds and buildings are well kept and worth the visit. See more..
    
28. 4.0 Wat Si Thep Pradittharam (8 reviews)
    - A superb Buddhist temple
    Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites
    
    
    This whole area is full of beautiful Buddhist temples, and this is just one more of them. Very beautiful and peaceful. We went in the evening when the monks were doing their prayers. See more..
    
29. 4.0 Wat Phra Bat Wern Pla (2 reviews)
    - Awesome!!!
    Religious Sites
    The Buddha's Footprint is on a rock in the middle of the river. You have to walk on a makeshift bridge made out of wood and very shaky but worth the walk out into the river for blessing it or whatever your pleasure... See more..
    
30. 4.0 จุดชมวิว ผานาคี (1 review)
    - จุดชมวิว ผานาคี ที่สามารถชมความงดงามของทัศนียภาพแม่น้ำโขงได้ไกลจนสุดปลายสายตา
    Scenic Walking Areas
