It is the emblematic temple of Nakhon Si Thammarat, the most important of southern Thailand and one of the most important in the country, because it is a first class royal temple. its big white chedi is the main element. It contains a relic of Buddha.

This museum is dedicated to Nang Talung, a traditional shadow puppets theater. You can see shadow puppets show and also the process of creating puppets. There is also an interesting gallery gathering a collection of ancient puppets. This is one of two must-visits in Nakhon Si Thammarat !

Ban Khiri Wong Village

My opinion :

This village, 25 kilometers from Nakhon Si Thammarat, is an example of ecotourism. Between treks in the neighboring national park and its waterfalls and discovery of the local handicrafts like batik and tie-dye of clothes, the best is to spend at least 2 days there.

Khanom

My opinion :

Located about a hundred kilometers north of the city of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Khanom is a pretty beach destination with some interesting visits to do in the surroundings. The place is also famous for its pink dolphins that you can meet during boat tours. Although obviously, it takes a bit of luck to see it.

Other nice places to visit in Nakhon Si Thammarat

Baan Tan Khun Ratwut Vicharn
