   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   Visited in mid July during the rainy season. Do go early in the morning to avoid crowds. Wear slippers or any footwear that are easy to take off since you will be required to remove your footwear at the entrance. There’re certain rules to follow for the ladies such as no showing of shoulders and midriff. No shorts and skirts must go over the kneecaps. No showing of cleavage either. This temple is worth the effort with spectacular scenery. Highly recommended. It’s better than most of the temples in other areas of Thailand in my opinion. See more..

   Nam Nao is a great National Park that straddles the beautiful scenic Highway #12. There are several hiking trails directly off the highway leading to some nice waterfalls. These can be visited during quick day trips without having to enter the main park. And without having too pay the entrance fee. The main park has several large camping areas and a number of cabins for rent. The camping areas seem to be kept clean and have convenient bathroom facilities. We were there during a holiday so the campsites were crowded but very manageable. The restaurant facilities were not able to handle the crowds, so the choices were few and the wait to eat was long. The park has several choices for hiking trails in every difficulty range. There are beautiful views, big pine forests, beautiful stands of bamboo. The tall wet grass along the trails have lots of leeches so I recommend long pants and boots. See more..
