Sakorn Nakon Travel Information

Sakorn Nakon, the ancient, Khmer town formerly known as 'Nong Han Luang', is now an important Buddhist religious center that contains a very sacred Buddha relic, and many forest temple retreats for meditation founded by a highly revered, deceased Buddhist monk, considered to be the greatest teacher of all monks. Situated in the upper northeastern region among the Phu Pan mountain ranges, it is also a land of natural beauty comprised of green, overlapping hills. The lifestyle of the people around the town's vicinity provides an interesting insight of the local Thais and the Thai So group.

Sakorn Nakon is 647 kilometres from Bangkok and has an area of 9,605 square kilometres.
