Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon (Wat Nong Waeng)

You haven't been to Khon Kaen until you've climbed this temple. Located by the lake, this 9-story stupa offers the best panoramic view of the city. Each floor is filled with rare Isan relics and scriptures. It is the spiritual heart of the city and looks absolutely majestic at sunset when the gold spire catches the light.

How to get there:

Songthaew (Bus): Take Line 8 (Blue color) from the city center.

Taxi: Tell the driver "Wat Nong Waeng" or "Phra That 9 Chan".
