Northeast Thailand Local Expert: Find Things To Do in Northeast Thailand

To get a good photo of an hippo is no easy task!

Located in north-central Thailand, Wat Pha Sorn Kaew sees a number of Thai tourists but is virtually unknown to most foreign travelers. There are two big draws here- the five sitting Buddhas, and the fantastic temple, which is covered in nearly five million mosaic tiles. Perched on an 830 meter high peak, it offers commanding views of its surroundings. The mountainous terrain and cooler climate have led many to call this area the "Little Switzerland of Thailand."
