Introducing Sakon Nakhon

Workaday Sakon Nakhon is primarily an agricultural market and Th Ratpattana is chock-a-block with shops selling farming equipment. And though the city centre is the usual concrete mess, neighbourhoods on the fringes are full of old wooden houses, and this is where you will find the two historic temples of Wat Phra That Choeng Chum and Wat Pa Sutthawat, the town’s main attractions.
