Wat Pothisomphon in Udon ThaniTourist Attractions in the City
The two main tourist attractions in Udon Thani are Wat Pothisomphon, which is the largest temple in Udon Thani, and Nong Prajak Park, which is the city centre park famous for the giant yellow ducks floating in the lake in the centre of this park.
Ban Chiang National Museum
The best tourist attraction in the area, however, is Ban Chiang National Museum which is located 50 km from Udon Thani city centre on a side road off the main highway running from Udon Thani to Sakon Nakhon. The museum display artefacts found around Ban Chiang village from the earliest known farming settlement in South East Asia. These archaeological finds led to history books having to be rewritten as the pottery and metalwork discovered was much more advanced than had been previously thought.
