Introducing That Phanom
Towering over the small town, the spire of the colossal Lao-style chedi of Wat Phra That Phanom is one of the region’s most emblematic symbols and one of the great flagpoles of Isan identity. In comparison, the little town of That Phanom itself is rather forgettable. Divided neatly in two, with the older half to the east, next to the river, it does, however, make a relatively peaceful base for exploring the wider region.
