Wat Nong Wang
For those based at a centrally located hotel, Khon Kaen sightseeing tours should include Wat Nong Wang, an awe-inspiring Buddhist temple. This exquisite stupa features nine storeys and apart from photographing its striking exterior, head inside to enjoy Buddha images, murals and lovely views from the observation deck on the top floor.
