Traveling here, recommended at the end of the year, around Christmas. Ban Tha Rae will be nicknamed "Stars on the Ground". The villagers in the village will come to light up with stars, lanterns, and twinkling lights all over the village. We were very lucky that we went at that time. The people are very friendly. When the children saw the tourists, they waved goodbye and said hello. There were few tourists, but the people in the community were very lovely. #Tha Rae #Sakon Nakhon #Sakon Nakhon attractions #Sakon Nakhon cafes
