With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Udon Thani Provincial Mesuem, 17 miles away, has to offer. Central Plaza Udon Thani ought to be toward the top of your list here. UD Town and Nong Prajak Public Park are awesome attractions too. Located 40 miles away, Wat Lam Duan is another place to aim for. If you stop by, make sure you check out Sala Keoku, Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge and Sadet Market.
