Uttaradit Province:
Uttaradit Province is an ancient
pre-historical region located in the lower northern part of Thailand. Located
on the right bank of Nan River, this region was once a prosperous port town for
shipping merchandise.
The principal tourist destination
in Uttaradit Province is Namtok Mae Phun waterfall. Water dropping from multiple
cascades amid pristine natural surroundings is a treat to watch. Uttaradit
consists of numerous ancient temples and shrines including Wat Phra Borom That Thung Yang, Wat Phra
Thaen Sila At, Wat Phra Yun Phutthabat Yukhon, Wat Klang and Wat Thamma
Thipatai. The interiors and murals in these temples are beautifully carved and
decorated with ancient tales.
