-Into the land of Naga !
Spent 1-2 hours Mysterious Sites • Forests
Driving 1.5 hr from Udon thani city, this sacred place is an approximately 10 acres island full of thousand of taraw palms (while not a single one outside this region!). Locals believe that this island is the only gate connected between Naga realm and our world. Therefore, many people come here to praying for the prosperity of their life (to be precise, lottery). Visitors must take off their shoes and walk barefoot on the path decorated with a very long greenish naga into the (mystery) thick palm jungle island. On the island, there are a shrine of naga lord Sri- Sudtho (who created Mekong river in the local folktale) and a naga well (locals believe that its water is holy water which have a healing power and the well itself is very deep and connect to Mekong). After worship the shrine, ones may stroll around the island to absorb the mystery sylvan atmosphere. Be blessed by naga. P.S . Weather in the island is quite cold compare to hot weather outside the island See more..

-Holy Shrines
Spent 2-3 hours Mysterious Sites • Religious Sites
We came here twice, first time was ok, but the 2nd time we came it was SUPER CROWDED ! Almost a 2km queue to get into the main temple, however the queue is always very well managed and orderly. The main temple is to cross the causeway (no shoes) leading to an island, once there, there are a few shrines to pray. There are also big Gongs for one to strike and listen to the reverbing sounds. Coming back from the island, there are many shrines there too, look out for the Gold and Black Gold Buddha temples. There are many snacks and drinks stalls around. The place can get very hot, do keep hydrated. See more..
