Sakhon Nakhon
From Sakhon Nakhon, a quiet almost sleepy town in the far north-east of Thailand (about 650 km (403 mi.) from Bangkok) a lowland plain, well irrigated by Lake Nong Han, stretches to the Mekong; it is bordered in the south-west by
densely wooded upland. Not many tourists venture here, only those who are interested in the rare but well preserved examples of Khmer art.
By car: from Khon Kaen highways 209/213 (175 km (108 mi.)). From Udon Thani Highway 22 (150 km (93 mi.)).
