Wat Pho Thissomphon

This city landmark of Udon Thani is a center of faith for the forest meditation tradition, featuring the magnificent Borom That Thamm Chedi, housing the ancient Phra Phuttha Rassamee over 600 years old, and a Bodhi tree propagated from Sri Lanka, symbolizing peace and serenity.

Nong Prajak Public Park

A historical landmark that predates the founding of Udon Thani. Formerly called “Nong Na Kluea,” it was later renamed in honor of Prince Prachaksinlapakhom, the founder of the city. The park’s highlights include the iconic giant yellow rubber duck floating on the lake, a suspension bridge, and a floral clock tower on a central island. It’s an ideal place for relaxing walks, jogging, or cycling while enjoying the scenic views.

Ban Na Kha

The City Pillar Udornthani

The Udon Thani City Pillar Shrine is a revered spiritual landmark that enshrines the spirit of Prince Prachaksinlapakhom within a sacred city pillar made from golden shower wood. Visitors can pay respects and seek blessings from three sacred entities in one place — the City Pillar, Phra Phuttha Pho Thong, and Thao Wessuwan — each believed to bestow prosperity, peace, and protection.

Udon Thani Museum

The Udon Thani Museum is housed in the over 90-year-old Rajinuthit Building, featuring beautiful Western-style architecture. Inside, it presents a comprehensive journey through the province’s heritage — from prehistoric Ban Chiang civilization, natural science, and geology, to the royal biography of Prince Prachaksinlapakhom, founder of the city. Visitors can explore the unique blend of Isan culture, local wisdom, and historical evolution that shaped Udon Thani into today’s thriving city.
