Three Nagas in Mukdahan

There are three significant Nagas in Mukdahan represented Land, River and Heaven. Land Naga located at Kaengkabao which is 40 mins from Mukdahan center. River Naga located right by Thai-Lao friendship bridge No.2. Heaven Naga located at Wat Roi Prabat Manorom which is very popular attraction. Going to all three is very blessed.

beautiful rocks

Phu pha thep National park is located 15 mins from Muldahan center. The rocks forming is quite interesting. It can be extremely hot during day time, umbrella or hat is recommended. We only took a walk around rocks park, but there are other interesting attractions such as waterfall and flower field around one kilometer from rocks park. For us, it was too hot to go to other places.

Although Mukdahan is a small secondary city, it is full of charm, with art, culture, friendly people, and beautiful nature. If you want to experience life on both sides of the Mekong, we recommend visiting Mukdahan. You will fall in love with Mukdahan just like we did.

Wat Phra Phutthabat Phu Manorom, Mukdahan.

Waking up in Mukdahan to see the giant Buddha statue. Open the map, pin the location, and head out. Upon arrival, officials will direct you to park your car and take a songthaew to the top. After getting off the songthaew, there is a viewpoint of the city. You can walk towards the Naga statue first (depending on your preference). Along the way, you will see the giant Buddha statue. When you reach the giant Buddha, it is enormous. You have to climb quite a few steps to touch its hand. At the top, the wind is strong, and you get a clear view of Mukdahan city.

Laos | Experience a romantic sunset cruise while slightly tipsy

There are no must-visit attractions in Laos, but the sunset cruise has become one of the beloved activities. It's leisurely and romantic, a very comfortable experience. 🏝️⛵️🛟 We saw the River Sun's ticket office on our way to Wat Xieng Thong and booked a cruise for the next day. There are two types of cruise packages: Shared Cruise and Private Cruise. The former has larger boats, typically 6-8 people per boat during the off-season. We booked a private cruise, which was more comfortable and offered more personal space. 🌊⛲️📸 The Private Cruise comes with a captain and a server, providing attentive service throughout. The service is very considerate, and they even offer to take photos, with surprisingly good photography skills. 🌅🏜️🛶 The cruise departs at 4:30 PM and lasts for 2.5 hours. It sails along the Mekong River for a while before stopping at a viewing point to wait for the sunset. 🥩🍲🍹 The cruise includes a dinner with the choice of Western or local Lao cuisine. The taste of the food is good, and the portions are generous. Free flow of in-house red wine, beer, and white wine is available, and you can start ordering drinks as soon as you board, allowing you to enjoy the sunset scenery while slightly tipsy, which is a wonderfully cozy and romantic experience. 🛺🎪🎰 After disembarking, there's a special buggy service that can take you to the night market, which is very thoughtful. 📝🌤️☀️ However, it's recommended to check the weather in advance and be prepared for sun protection.

Restaurant along the Mekong River.

#2024wish Last month, I visited Bounch Reune restaurant along the Mekong River in Luang Prabang with a friend. The serene ambiance captivated us as we sipped on refreshing coconuts, the gentle breeze carrying the essence of the Mekong. The restaurant's riverside setting provided a tranquil escape, creating a perfect backdrop for our leisurely afternoon. The view was mesmerizing, with the river flowing peacefully, creating a serene atmosphere. The experience was heightened by the friendly staff and delicious local cuisine. Bounch Reune proved to be more than a dining spot; it was a picturesque retreat, offering a serene respite by the enchanting Mekong waters. I wish to visit Colombo in 2024.

One of the most beautiful temples in Thailand. After parking, the temple’s truck was provided for free of charge to get to the mountain top. The big white buddha is gigantic. There is an elevator up to fourth floor. The view up there is incredible. Nilpan naga statue is beautiful and very spiritual. Many people are here to make wishes.
