1. 5.0 Wat Phrai Phatthana (5 reviews)
   - Red Stone Shrine/Castle
   Spent 2-3 hours Religious Sites
   
   
   I went on a one day bus trip to Surin and Sisaket province with me the only Westerner. on the bus amongst my local villagers . This is Wat Phrai Phatthana the resting place of the mummified body of a revered monk. Haven't found out why they have Big Roosters. The beautiful shine is red stone and carved wood. The stone castle and adjoining wooden buildings are really worth the visit But there is some very commercial fund raising going on, donate to spinning monks with offering bowls and stick a tiny piece of gold paper on now golden balls even the fat Buddha has a coin slot in his belly button or is it to clean the lint? The Thais love it as if it's a type of Buddha world theme park. Is it spiritual? Well not to some purists but to the Thais is seems to be. A day out and a merit-making exercise. See more..

3. 4.5 Wat Pa Maha Jedi Kaeo (Wat Larn Kuad) (18 reviews)
   - Well THAT was cool!
   Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
   
   
   In the area for a friends wedding and heard about a cool temple made out of bottles! As the name suggests “Wat LAN Khuat” (temple of one million bottles) it was incredible in my opinion. The kids loved exploring around and the locals enjoyed talking to them. Even had a blessing by the monk... special experience in a remote part of the country! See more..
   
4. 4.5 Wat Maha Phuttharam (14 reviews)
   - Beautiful Artwork, Peaceful Shady Surrounds, WAT a Blessing
   Religious Sites
   
   
   As all Temples (wats) this is Super Stunning & Peaceful. The grounds around Maha Phuttharam Wat have big old shady trees to sit, enjoy a refreshment, let the tin lids (children/kids) have a run around or get a massage from one of the shop in the far corner. It's the inside of this Wat that is so Wonderful, adorned with art works on every possible surface, depicting the story of Buddha, enlightenment, wisdom & knowledge. All hand painted with Gold gilt & Glorious colours. You can purchase offerings,candles,incense to place before the Statue upon entering the foyer section, or a parcel with goods for the Monks (if one is present) and get a blessing. If you come to SiSaKet this is a lovely Wat to Visit. See more..
   
5. 4.5 Wat Pa Si Mongkhon Rattanaram (4 reviews)
   - An unusual but educational facility
   Monday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Religious Sites
   
   
   Having read a review of this Wat, my wife & I along with a local friend, decided to visit it during our trip to Sisaket. The parking area is quite large so at this stage of construction no issues in finding space. Food & beverage is available from several shops with adequate shady areas. This Wat reminds me of Disneyland’s Magic Kingdom offering fairy-tale lighting, dragons & mythical beings. Whilst it is still under construction there is no shortage of curio stalls, not only at the entrance to the Naga cave but within as well. Whilst we were there 5 bus loads of young, well behaved students arrived and we noticed that their phones were working overtime taking a myriad of photos. It confirms a suggestion that it is a learning center for Buddhist history in the making. This “temple” is not my idea of a facility for worship but as an “entertainment” or educational area it would work quite well. My elderly Thai friends were circumspect in their comments.

7. 4.0 Wat Larn Kuad - Beer Bottle Temple (49 reviews)
   - Drinking for a good cause?!
   Religious Sites
   
   
   One has to wonder how the builders of this wat managed to accumulate the thousands of beer and Red Bull bottles that make up this unique temple. Everything is made of bottles, including the water tower, crematorium, main temple and associated buildings. Parts of the temple are surprisingly artistic, considering the crazy construction material. See more..
   
8. 4.0 Pha Mo E Dang (48 reviews)
   - Foggy
   Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lookouts • Religious Sites • Scenic Walking Areas
   
   
   I am sure the lookout and park is nice.. But unfortunately on the day it was windy, cold and foggy, so I was not able to see anything, beside a monkey. Still it looked to be a nice park with a great view. I would go back to actually see the place. See more..
   
9. 4.0 Si Sa Ket Aquarium (34 reviews)
   - Full tank of fish
   Aquariums
   
   
   Some tanks are a bit small for lots of fish The tunnel one need a bit of maintenance I would say it does look a bit glitzy.But all ok And cheap .maybe should put price up a bit so can take care of it a bit more. See more..
   
10. 4.0 Wat Phra That Rueang Rong (33 reviews)
    - Interesting Temple

    Visited with Thai friends. Large temple with lots of really interesting figures, and some historical artifacts. You can climb to the top of the temple tower which gives great views over the area. See more..
    
11. 4.0 Prasat Hin Wat Sa Khampaeng Yai (22 reviews)
    - Khmer temple in the surrounding of a Wat
    Ancient Ruins
    
    
    It is not uncommon to see an ancient scantuary in the vicinity of a Way ( Thai Buddhist temple). Also here at Kamphaeng Hai you have both worlds together The ancient scantuary is unique because of its brick some towers that suuound the main tower. Very beautiful pediments with Eliphants and Hindu Deities. The main tower is well decorated. Similar as more temples in the south of Isaan. Easy to find near Sisaket. Parking in the scantuary area. Just drive through the gate. Turn left and park if nothing free you can park further in the domain. See more..
    
12. 4.0 Huai Chan Waterfall (9 reviews)
    - Worth a look
    Waterfalls
    
    
    Nice spot. Not too much else to say. It had just rained heavily when we went so the river was raging and the falls were crashing down. But it not a high waterfall. Looks like a good place for a swim on a hot day. Food stalls abound. Not well developed for paths and signs as its mostly Thais that visit. Free to enter See more..
    
13. 4.0 Samrong Kiat Waterfall (Namtok Pisad) (6 reviews)
    - Sightseeing
    Waterfalls
    
    
    A last minute trip before flying home. A little hidden away but worth a visit. Lots of food available at the little street food market. Very busy when we went. Make sure you have plenty of insect repellent at hand. Worth a visit if in the area See more..
    
14. 4.0 Prasat Ban Prasat Sanctuary (Huay Tap Tan Ruins) (4 reviews)
    - Definitely worth it
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    Quite a bit there actually. The ruins are kind of surrounded by an actual working temple. When we went there was a festival going on so it was a great experience. See more..
    
15. 4.0 Prasat Wat Sa Kamphaeng Yai (3 reviews)
    - Interesting Site but spoiled by local Fair!
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    Together with 25 other Anglo-Thai Society members, my wife and myself paid a short earlier today to Prasat Wat Kamphaeng Yai. From the outside, this looked a very interesting site but it soon became clear (by the very loud noise levels) that a local Fair/Festival was in full swing. Unfortunately, this took the gloss of what would otherwise have been a much more enjoyable visit. Nonetheless, there were still no shortage of interesting artefacts/relics/statues to see but we were back on the road much sooner than otherwise have been the case!! See more..
    
16. 4.0 Khao Phra Wihan National Park (2 reviews)
    - A park with a political history
    Monday: 5:00 AM - 4:30 PM Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    Phra Wihan Temple has been a source of dispute between Thailand and Cambodia for many years. From Wikipedia we learn that In 1907 the Thai-Cambodian border was mapped by the French on behalf of a bilateral border commission. According to the 1904 agreement, the border would follow the natural watershed between the countries. However, the resulting map deviated by showing Preah Vihear Temple as being in Cambodia, even though it is on the Thai side of the watershed. Thailand accepted the map for official use. The Thais discovered the error when they made their own survey in the 1930s, but the International Court of Justice ruled that they had waited too long to protest and lost the temple by "acquiescence". So now you can only visit the temple from the Cambodian side. For those with strong interest in the political and historical aspects one could go in from the Thai side. Entrance is 400 baht for a foreigner. But for the politically not interested there is not much to see. You can follow a path ("up along the flower pots") where you run into a small army settlement and barbed wire to stop you from going further. In the far distance you can see the stairs go up. There is some kind structure depicting man and woman and a lookout post from where you can see the temple through binoculars. Finally a stone carving can be visited. All in all not really worth the visit. See more..
    
17. 4.0 Bentley Water Park (1 review)
    - A great find.
    Spent More than 3 hours Water Parks
    
    
    We were told about this water park whilst visiting family in khukhan.It really was a great find especially since hotels around the area offer very limited facilities..ie no pool or leisure so this place was a fantastic place to spend some time.The place is very clean,a couple of nice pools one for children and during the week days was pretty quiet.Was a lot busier weekends when the local schools were off.The staff were all nice and helpful.A range of pool items are available to rent..and food and drink is available.

    - A mix of old and new!

    A mix of historical ancient temple ruins and a modern Buddhist temple. Worth a visit if you are in the area, but not worth a special journey. Some really great ancient carvings. See more..
    
20. 3.5 Wat Ban Yang Chum Yai (2 reviews)
    - A good luck visit.
    Religious Sites
    
    
    My wife & I, along with a friend, decided to visit this temple in Yang Chum Noi as it was en route between Wat Ban Dan Nok Dong and Phrathat Ruang Rong. Whilst it does not exude any overt “Magical Kingdom” qualities it is not uninteresting. A sala sitting in the pond provides the opportunity for those seeking good fortune to request fulfillment. As can be seen in the photos, there are many animals displayed. The 4-story tower gives you an overview of the grounds along with photographic possibilities. See more..
    
21. 3.0 Prang Ku Sombun (2 reviews)
    - A visit into history
    Spent < 1 hour Ancient Ruins • Religious Sites
    
    
    This was the last Wat that my wife & I visited on this trip to Sisaket and incredibly happy that we did as we both felt an affiliation with this ancient & significantly ruined temple. Whilst it was not so easy to find after driving southbound turning right off 2083 and right again onto 2349 then right to the site, it was not too bad. Narrow paved village roads winding through country fields took you back in time preparing you for this temple. The well cared for grounds were clean & we noticed 2 monks working in the garden areas. A quiet & serene ambiance pervaded. The absence of people made our visit more enjoyable as we could wander the ship like structure in our own time. The remaining ruins are relatively small in area but still give an idea of what the original may have been. The moat was dry at the time of our visit but you are able to recognize the shape. For the enthusiast well worth the visit. See more..
