Maha Sarakham Province Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Yaowarat Road

Address - Yaowarat Road Ambiance/Facilities - Crowded Highlights - Food Vendors Avg. Price per Person - $20-$50 Rating - 7/10 I came to BKK, Yaowarat Road, to try some of the Michelin gourmet bib stalls. To my expectations, really nothing to rave for. E.g. Kway chap Uan Photchana, Nai Mong Hoi Tod (Fried Oysters) & Pa Tong Go Savoey (Thai doughsticks) I cant list all, but most of them are below my expectations. Some other unknown food vendors had much better food & pricings. So I encourage you guys to try other stalls too. Yaowarat itself is a tourist trap, so don't just try those stalls with Michelin Gourmet Bib. Give the rest a chance too. You might come across a gem. #bangkok #yaowarat #streetfooodbkk

Grilled squid @ Yaowarat

The popular grilled squid in Yaowarat has a long waiting time if you come in late. We reached early when there are not much people. The squid is freshly-grilled after ordering and this is the reason why there is always a queue! We waited about 15 minutes for our squid to be done. The grilled squid is chewy and goes well with their home-made chilli sauce. It can get really spicy even for those who take spicy food. #fallishere

Freshly-grilled Patonggo in Yaowarat

This particular shop located in Yaowarat sells the famous thailand Patonggo which is known as fried doughnut. Their doughnut has already been fried and they will grill the doughnut upon ordering. It’ll take some time because it is freshly grilled on the spot. There are 2 sauces we can choose from which are kaya and condensed milk. The doughnut is crispy and goes very well with the sauces. #fallishere

Bangkok Chinatown foodie heaven

Yaowarat, or Chinatown in Bangkok comes alive every night with street food. Always busy and packed with locals and tourists, the main road is lined on both sides with a huge variety of street food, plus the side streets and alleyways also feature multiple eateries and food vendors. Fresh roasted chestnuts are a must try, there’s also fresh seafood and Chinese roast meats. Sharkfin soup and fish maw soup can be found at many street restaurants. Freshly squeezed sugar cane juice is refreshingly cold especially in the heat of Bangkok. There are plenty of fresh fruit stores with a whole range of exotic tropical fruits.

Buddhavanaram Temple (Mahasarakham)

"Buddhavanaram Temple or Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen" is located in Mahasarakham Province. Address: Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen (Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen) is situated at Ban Wang Nam Yen, Tumbon Keng, Amphoe Mueang, Mahasarakham Province, covering an area of over 30 rai. It was officially elevated to a temple on November 22, 2012, and is affiliated with the Maha Nikaya fraternity. Currently, Phra Ajarn Suriyant Khosapanyo, a well-known monk, holds the position of abbot at Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen. The Origin of Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen The temple's establishment dates back to 2006 when Phra Ajarn Suriyant was the abbot of Wat Burapha Thepnimit in Kalasin Province. He was a disciple of Luang Pu Kamphan Khosapanyo, a famous monk in the northeastern region, which led the faithful Buddhists of Mahasarakham to donate the land where Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen currently stands, allowing Phra Ajarn Suriyant to build this temple as a spiritual center for Buddhists in general. The temple features a large preaching hall built with 112 wooden pillars, constructed mainly using wood such as redwood, hardwood, and teak, making it the largest in Thailand. Inside the temple, there are three pure gold Buddha statues, each weighing over 12 kilograms, which are paraded around the town during the annual Kathina ceremony for the public to worship. Today, Buddhavanaram Temple or Wat Pa Wang Nam Yen is not only a place of faith for local Buddhists and the general Buddhist community but also a renowned Buddhist tourism destination in Mahasarakham City. It has become a must-visit spot in the province, attracting tourists to come and pay homage, worship, and seek blessings for increased prosperity, continuously drawing visitors without fail.
