With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Dan Sai, 35 miles away, has to offer. Prathat Si Song Rak ought to be high up on your list here. Wat Neramit Wipatsana and Phra That Si Songrak are awesome attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Phu Ruea, 50 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Pla Ba Waterfall. (But we’d also recommend Wat Pa Huai Lat and Phu Bak Dai.)
