Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park, an IHG Hotel, is a luxurious accommodation located in the heart of downtown Bangkok. Situated near Patpong Street and within walking distance of MBK Shopping Mall, this upscale hotel offers stunning city views and top-notch amenities.

You can tell ALL you need to know about hotel from the room service. Gorgeous buffet breakfast Immaculate and very courteous staff Then I got back to my room (I’d only left it for an hour!) and everything was reset (including be quickly vacuumed!) with a smile and a bow. Feeling VERY relaxed and cared for by the friendly staff here. Thank you for a GREAT first day in Bangkok!! Photos are of my reset room (which to me makes all the difference for a great stay)

Word of advice Just save enough $ and book the room with club privileges. Truly money well spent when you get breakfast, High Tea, Happy hours, free food and cocktails. However the icing on the cake is not the freebies but the honour of meeting the team @ Club lounge: Candi, Kathy, Pop, Ben, Tech and Gosh. The Club Floor team epitomise the essence of Thai Service Culture. Friendly, Discreet and Respectful. On behalf of my family, please extend our gratitude to IHG for the wonderful experience.

Great location on the business area of BKK. Very convenient for travel, near BTS and MRT. Also near hospital and shopping center. The staffs are very nice and helpful. Front desks are welcome with warm and great manner. The room is clean and comfortable with many facilities provided. 24-7 Fitness and swimming pool are available. Breakfast is so delicious, the buffet lines are great with many choice of food.

Two night getaway from Singapore to Bangkok. Wasn't sure exactly where to stay, but as IHG Platinum this seemed like a good option. Turned out to be a great option! This is one of the better Crowne Plaza hotels in my experience. I used points to book a King Standard. They did not upgrade me (they apologized and offered a second welcome voucher). Even so, the room was spacious + comfortable + clean + quiet. Bathroom is large, with a separate bath and shower. Includes a Japanese style toilet. For whatever reason, I met many Japanese guests staying at this hotel. There happens to be an excellent Japanese restaurant on the 22nd floor, not able to charge to the room from there but it's well worth having your dinner there. Breakfast at Panorama offers a wide range of cuisine, including Western + Japanese + Korean stations. I visited Panorama again for ala carte lunch and TapIt for a pizza in the evenings. Would definitely return!

Matthew — Google review
The Crowne Plaza in Bangkok. How should one judge this? Let's start with the room on the club floor. I received an upgrade to a small suite. Many thanks for that, because the room was very nice and clean! The staff were extremely friendly and thanked us five times for everything, even when they hadn't really understood us. This also led to misunderstandings. Among the staff, I would like to highlight Ms Butter in the restaurant – she was a gem! Attentive and always nearby when you needed her, but never intrusive, just as you would expect in a much more upmarket restaurant. The food was good but not outstanding. And now we come to breakfast. It is possible to have breakfast on the club floor, but unlike the large restaurant on the 23rd floor, the selection is a little limited. That's why I went to the restaurant on the second morning. So that I can compare the cuisine in the different hotels, I always order Eggs Benedict. I cannot give a rating for this version I received, as I am unable to award negative stars. The bread/toast was stale and the egg was cold. I was surprised that Eggs Benedict could be pre-made; they could at least have heated it properly. The runny yolk was missing, the mini slice of ham was very cold, and the béarnaise sauce was watery and practically non-existent with only three drops. There should be a change in this area of the kitchen. I will try to include the video I made in the review. Overall, a good business hotel with some excellent staff and a mixed kitchen.

Well located near both metro and sky train. Close to hospital and Red Cross. Night time shopping very close. Park is close. Mall is about an hour walk away. ATM for cash right outside. Staff were very polite and helpful. Rooms were well serviced. I was a nonsmoker in a smoking room and couldn't tell. Loved the shower, never used the bathtub but it looked nice. Breakfast buffet is great and views of skyline are nice. Lots of variety.

Tops Supermarket is conveniently located at the MBK center. It is hidden amongst the pop-up stalls and situated at a corner of the shopping center. This big supermarket carries lots of groceries and household items. Bought yogurt drinks but one of them had turned sour. The packaging looks decent but do take care when consuming food/drinks.

Jim Thompson House Museum

Mentioned on 
+90 other lists 
Heritage museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Jim Thompson House Museum, located on the Saen Saeb Canal in Bangkok, is a must-visit attraction. Once the home of American entrepreneur and architect Jim Thompson, it now showcases his impressive art collection. Thompson played a pivotal role in revitalizing the Thai silk industry after World War II and was honored for his contributions to Thailand. The museum features six traditional Thai teakwood houses that were carefully collected from different parts of Thailand by Thompson himself.
A Must-Visit Hidden Gem in Bangkok! I had a truly enriching experience at the Jim Thompson House Museum. The place is a beautiful blend of Thai architecture, art, and history. The traditional wooden houses surrounded by lush greenery create a peaceful atmosphere in the middle of the city. The guided tour was informative and engaging,I learned so much about Jim Thompson's life, his love for Thai silk, and the mystery behind his disappearance. The museum also showcases an impressive collection of Southeast Asian antiques and art pieces. It felt like stepping back in time. The staff were friendly and professional, and the whole place is well-maintained. Whether you're a history lover, art enthusiast, or just looking for something unique in Bangkok, this place is absolutely worth your time. Highly recommended!

The Jim Thompson House is an absolute must-visit in Bangkok — especially for anyone who loves design, architecture, or history. Every corner is visually stunning, from the beautifully preserved traditional Thai teak houses to the lush tropical gardens that surround them. The restaurant and café are also wonderful — elegant, relaxing, and a perfect spot to unwind after touring the house. The food and drinks are excellent, with the same thoughtful design touches that make the entire experience feel special. A true Bangkok gem that blends art, culture, and craftsmanship. Highly recommend!

Lovely oasis in the middle of Bangkok craziness (which I love). I went on my own without my kids or other 1/2 following me around looking bored. I have a very peaceful morning enjoying the gardens and architecture. The walk from the station was really interesting as well- lots of great street art down the canal walkway.
Jane M — Google review
I visited the museum in 2019 and fell in love with this hidden treasure in the heart of Bangkok. I visited again to see this place again and I was still amazed at how beautiful and peaceful this place is. I would definitely recommend the visit, and I would personally go with the flow in terms of tour times. It’s a place where you can sit and relax until your tour time. It’s been 7 years since I’ve been and I’ll definitely visit again on my next trip to Bangkok.
Ashlyn N — Google review
A nice place to see some history of Thai silk industry and how a foreigner was able to make such an impact. Plus an insight into how Jim Thompson lived. The restaurant on sight is absolutely top notch, not a tourist trap and worth the money (it’s not cheap cheap)

The Jim Thomson museum offers a truly enriching experience for visitors. Its curated collection is both insightful and beautifully presented, sparking curiosity at every turn.

Phong K — Google review
As one of the most luxurious malls in central Bangkok, Siam Paragon is full of designer brands and has a very modern feel. It's a shame that many of the shops, like those selling home goods, are increasingly focused on Western products instead of offering more Thai or Asian-style items. ​Downstairs, there is a great supermarket with a food court. There is also a food area outside, but be careful where you buy from. We were charged 360 baht for two small sticky rice, which was quite expensive.

The food court has countless options. Exploring it was my favorite activity to do here. Loved every bit of exploring it. Want to go back here again & again. Gourmet market filled with various special items from around the world. Make you feel like you have gone out to world food tour.

Siam Paragon is the original premier luxury high end mall in Bangkok before the opening of the newer ICON Siam and One Bangkok. Facing stiff competition, it still remains a popular shopping destination for tourist and locals alike. There's plenty of food options and fashion brands and I find it easier to get to compared to ICON Siam, and there are plenty of other major shopping malls in its proximity if you are done shopping here. The mall is expansive, beautifully designed, and offers unique attractions such as luxury car displays featuring brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini. Additionally, it houses a diverse food hall, an aquarium on the basement level, and a gourmet supermarket. Visitors are unlikely to find themselves bored within this comprehensive shopping complex

🛍️✨ Siam Paragon – A World-Class Mall with Local Soul & Global Taste Siam Paragon has always been one of my favourite malls in Bangkok, and with its recent renovation and reorganization, it has truly elevated its appeal to both locals and tourists. What stands out most is the revamped layout of the designer label zones — now beautifully curated and easy to explore, making it feel like a seamless luxury walk-through. Whether you’re looking for fashion, beauty, or lifestyle, every section is now more organized, elegant, and spacious. 💎 But my personal highlight? Definitely the Gourmet Market and Gourmet Eats. 🛒 Gourmet Market is a treasure trove for both locals and visitors — you’ll find a fantastic range of Thai local products, premium groceries, fresh fruits, beauty items, wellness brands, and uniquely Thai snacks all under one roof. It’s a place where every aisle tempts you to bring a piece of Thailand home. 🍽️ Then there’s Gourmet Eats, a true food lover’s paradise. They’ve gathered some of Thailand’s most celebrated restaurants — including Michelin-starred, Bib Gourmand, and legendary local names — into one convenient, clean, and beautifully designed space. Whether you’re craving traditional Thai, fusion dishes, or local street food served in air-conditioned comfort, you’ll be spoiled for choice here. ⸻ ✅ What I love about Siam Paragon: • Beautiful renovation with well-placed luxury zones • Easy access to both international brands and local favourites • Gourmet Market: the best place to shop for Thai goods and snacks • Gourmet Eats: dine like a foodie without hunting all over Bangkok 📍Whether you’re shopping for luxury labels or just soaking in the flavors of Thailand, Siam Paragon continues to impress — a true all-in-one destination.

This place is the most luxury mall I’ve ever been to and it feels like it just keeps going on forever. You go up one level and think that’s the top just to find there are 3 more levels. Incredible design work! Plus the food court is a huge plus - many many Michelin star restaurants inside!

It has all you need. Good for window shopping. Asia books and Kinokuniya are probably the sanctuary in the whole mall. Very noisy especially in the entrance hall and the outdoor stage. Full of tourists and teenagers. Most fashion items are new, rarely on sales and costly. Best to window shop here and buy online. BTS is the best way to commute. Parking space is time-wasting. You’d end up spending 30 mins up, 30 mins down in the parking zone.

Our favorite mall ist the Siam Paragon, followed by the MBK Center. Both are near Centralworld. It's a great area to stay at if you like malls (like we do). Of these three, the Centralworld is the one that excites me the least. Pricing and shopping wise it's somewhere between the more luxury Siam Paragon (with the best food hall) and the cheaper MBK Center. There's nothing wrong with this mall though. A good range of shops, cheaper and more luxurious ones. Nice food court and a good number of really nice restaurants. It's just the one I feel the least connected to, just didn't catch me like the other two. But there's a very very good reason to come here anyways: It's "Katsu Midori". The Sushi Restaurant with the best Sushi outside of Japan. Quality is insanely good. Be sure to make a reservation or be ready to wait up to two hours. But worth it. Still: If you're in the area, it's a pretty fun mall and worth checking out. We always come back too, since Paragon and MBK are so close. So we visit this one as well.

CentralWorld in Bangkok is one of the best shopping centers I’ve visited. The mall is huge, modern, and extremely well-organized, making it easy to explore. It offers a *complete range of fashion*, from everyday clothing to high-end designer brands, so there’s something for every style and budget. What really stands out is the food selection, especially on the **7th floor**. There are countless options — from delicious Thai dishes to international cuisine, along with many bakeries and dessert shops. Whether you want a full meal or just something sweet, you’ll definitely find something you love. Overall, CentralWorld is a perfect place for shopping, eating, and spending the day. With its variety of big-name brands, trendy fashion stores, and amazing food choices, it’s a must-visit destination in Bangkok.

The Chatuchak Market is the largest open-air market in Bangkok, so prepare for a lot of walking. The location is accessible by train, making it fairly easy to get there. There is no fee to get in and the market has different areas dedicated to specific items such as art or clothing. Scattered throughout are food stalls and other shops. I spent 4 hours here and was able to get through most of the market.

I have been to Chatuchak Market many times over the years and every time I go I find something new or a section I haven't visited before. It's a very very big market and definitely worth a visit. They sell everything from clothes to kitchen wear, Hilltribe arts and crafts to furniture and antiques. There is so much more too this place but if you are looking for presents to take home or a great experience in Bangkok then it is a great option. Oh and there are lots of places to eat and drink as well. Just a two minute walk from the BTS station Mo Chit and the MRT station Suan Chatuchak.

This market mostly is of antiques or thrift clothing items. Although there was many cool items personally a lot of the price points were similar to that a vintage markets back home in Canada. They were curated, but for me things were more expensive than I was willing to spend. Definitely worth checking out though. Bring a snack as there’s a lot of floors and you will be in there for hours.

Chatuchak Weekend Market is an unmissable experience for anyone visiting Bangkok. Open only on weekends, this massive market is a true maze where you’ll happily get lost among thousands of stalls. Here you can find everything: traditional Thai clothing, all the most famous brands in surprisingly convincing “fake” versions, unique antiques, and an endless selection of incredibly cheap street food. One thing to remember: haggling is essential. Whatever you want to buy, negotiate—the price will drop dramatically, and it’s all part of the fun. The market is always very crowded, lively, and full of energy, making it a vibrant glimpse into local culture. Whether you’re shopping, tasting local bites, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, Chatuchak is definitely an experience you shouldn’t miss.

Shopping paradise and cultural experience! Chatuchak Weekend Market is massive and full of energy! From clothes, accessories, and souvenirs to unique home decor and street food, there’s something for everyone. The market is vibrant, colorful, and perfect for exploring local culture.

Huge and amazing. Everything you could ever want is here. Trinkets, souvenirs, shoes, clothes, wallets, scarves, jerseys, household goods, bags and more. It is a barter situation so start lower than what they have marked, the more you get the better discount you'll get. Lots of delicious food stalls as well. It's absolutely huge so plan on spending some time here, many duplicate vendors but also many unique.

Lots to see, buy, drink and eat in Lat Krabang, at the Paseo Mall. Relaxed vibe throughout this retro style mall, which is spaciously spread over several indoor and outdoor sections and, split over two (2) levels, with ample enough car parking at the rear, too. The Food Mall is a great spot for lunch and diner and there are plenty of services, ranging from banking to educational and health, here too.

Nice place to kill some time and spend the last Baht. There's a small food "mall" outside which is quite simple but connected to this there are lots of Western restaurants and cafés, a small "mall" with clothing-, tech- and pharmacy-stores and billions of ATMs. There are also two(?) larger supermarkets with a great variety of worldwide food and in the evening the outside part turns into a lively streetfood market - and it's clean!!! Ate for 85 Baht all in all and it was the cheapest and best Thai food I had during my whole holidays.

Restaurant
PB Valley Khaoyai Winery, located in the Pak Chong district of Thailand, is the largest winery in Southeast Asia. Established by Mr. Piya Bhirombhakdi, this 1000-acre vineyard benefits from high elevation and cool temperatures during the winter months, allowing for the successful cultivation of wine grapes such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chenin Blanc.
A great experience lasting 70 minutes with 3 stations: grapes picking, brewery tour and wine tasting. Grapes were crunchy and sweet. Wines include the rose red, blanc white and red. Highly recommended.
Peter S — Google review
Absolutely incredible experience at PB Valley! I ordered the braised beef and a calamari side, and both dishes were out of this world. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich in flavour, and perfectly balanced. The calamari was fresh, crispy, and a great complement to the meal. The restaurant is set right in a beautiful vineyard, which adds to the charm. Our group, though we didn’t drink, bought a bunch of grape juices — and they were excellent. Everyone was happy with the food, and I also tried my friend’s roasted chicken, which was delicious. The atmosphere was warm, and the service attentive and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough — if you’re in Khao Yai, make sure PB Valley is on your list!

Very charming winery with a lovely view restaurant. Moderate prices for great food and yummy wine. Nice gift shop and can buy wine and spirits there. Locally made products.

Visited PB Valley Winery in Khao Yai last Saturday. The place has a great ambiance surrounded by beautiful greenery. As it’s off-season, there weren’t many grapes on the vines, but our guide explained everything perfectly about the vineyard and wine-making process. If you enjoy nature and a calm, peaceful environment, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Dairy supplier
Farm Chokchai, located in Khao Yai, is the largest dairy farm in Asia and offers a fully integrated experience on its expansive grounds. Visitors can engage in various activities such as milking cows, making ice cream from fresh milk, watching cowboy shows, and enjoying talented dog performances. The farm also offers guided tours for a deeper exploration of its operations.
I absolutely love this farm! It’s so well-kept with a warm, welcoming staff, beautiful plants, and adorable animals. It’s such great value for money, and you can easily spend 3 hours just wandering around and relaxing. Chill under the big shady tree, swing on the swings, and let the sunshine warm your skin. Feeding the animals is a blast, and petting them is just so soothing! 🚨 among all the farms I think this will be the top recommended. It’s clean and young child friendly. +Value for money. Try their banana milk and strawberry milk.

An Absolutely Unforgettable Farm Experience – We’re Already Dreaming of Our Next Visit! WE MISS THOSE ADORABLE, FLUFFY SHEEP SO MUCH! 🐑💕 Khao Yai has many farms, but this one is SPECIAL – where else can you actually STEP INSIDE a sheep barn and have dozens of eager, woolly friends munching right from your hands?! The joy is absolutely contagious! Here’s how to MAXIMIZE THE FUN (driver tips included!): ✨ **Start at the museum** (2 floors of quirky farm history – way more interesting than it sounds!) ✨ Speed through the "12 zodiac animals" – save your snacks because the REAL excitement comes later! ✨ SHEEP FEEDING TIME!** 🎉 Your driver can take you straight to the sheep & flower farm – prepare for sheer delight as soft noses nuzzle your palms! (Pro tip: Hold the food high unless you want an overeager sheep attempting a cuddle!) ✨ Bunny paradise awaits! The rabbit feeding area is MAGICAL – they’ll hop right up to you, twitching noses and all! ✨ Don’t miss cow milking – it’s hilariously hands-on and perfect for photos! This isn’t just for kids – we adults were squealing with joy the entire time!** Between the flower fields, giggling at greedy goats, and being mobbed by sweet sheep, this farm delivers PURE HAPPINESS. 10/10 would feed sheep again – see you soon, fluffy friends! 🌈🐇🐄 🐑
Charles L — Google review
Tickets are 120฿ per person — drive your own car in and explore 4 main spots between 1:30–3:30 PM. • Stop 1 is mainly for feeding animals (not photo-friendly and requires extra fee). • Stop 2 is a stunning flower field with wide open skies and constant cool breeze — perfect for photos (but bring a hat, it’s sunny!). • Stop 3 is where you can feed adorable animals. A basket of treats (milk bottles, veggies, etc.) costs 140฿ and is more than enough. After that, cool down with their 99฿ coconut ice cream cone (topped with beans!) — super refreshing, but melts fast in the wind. • There are also 4 daily buffalo shows — free to watch, though it gets crowded and hard to snap a clear pic.
Nazmul K — Google review
The farm has four exploration points. First, you get to explore a big field and interact with the sheep. You can also feed them. Second, you explore a field of colorful flowers. Third, you can milk cows, interact with rabbits, sheep, and geese, and play fun mini-games. You can also rent a bike to go around. Fourth, it is a museum where you can learn about cowboy culture and the Thai forest. Their ice cream is delicious. It has a soft gelato-like consistency and not-too-sweet flavors.

One of the historic farm in Thailand. We have visited this place during our journey back to Bangkok. With just 120 Baht per person we drove thru the farm by our car. We also ordered a "recommended" hamburger menu that in my idea was a bit overpriced (410 Baht) taken into account the quality and quantity compared to what usually we get in Europe.

Visited in December 2024 for a family trip. It is a very big farm. Paid for entrance to drive in with our driver. The drive is just a small loop. Went in the afternoon as my driver said that's the time he could bring us there. Totally wrong. I suggest you go in the early morning. No cowboy show during my visit. Just some sheep and cows. They will display 2 dairy cows for you to try milking but you need to pay. So be prepared to pay at every station. I can't even go around the farm on their tractor because they claimed my ticket was not included. I wasn't even sure what was included in my ticket as I can't speak or understand Thai. I just paid what I was told and went for it. I spent only 30 minutes there and I left. A total waste of time. It only looks fantastic on advertisements but the real thing doesn't match up at all. There are better ones.

Beautiful park - pristine and well worth visiting. Be mindful that as a foreigner, you will need to pay the tourist price for entry (400 bhat). Not a big deal but worth noting. Also be mindful that there are a lot of unmarked speed bumps so keep an eye out for these. Highly recommended

The National park is very beautiful. A wide open large space with a road running all the way through it. On our visit we didn’t get to see elephants but we saw large healthy dear and monkeys carrying babies. There are amazing view points and also camping points. You can also drive right through the park to an amazing waterfall. A very worthwhile visit. 40 Bhat for local people and 300 Bhat for foreigners. Still money worth spending.

Huge national park with many interesting animals. I'd recommend to book a safari with a guide, because otherwise you might drive/walk straight past the most interesting things without even noticing. Also you are not allowed to walk into the jungle on your own, which makes sense because although beautiful it can also be dangerous. Also make sure you bring insect spray and leech protection socks. And don't forget to respect nature.

It's really worth a visit. Just watch out for wildlife if you were to drive after dawn. There are so many interesting spots, day and night, to enjoy the nature. If you are not really into camping, stay on the lower areas of the park. There are many fancy hotels and houses to choose from. More importantly, it's much easier to eat with varieties of foods. Just be aware that prices may be similar to Bangkok, or some places are even priceier.

We visit the khao yai national Park yesterday I search on khao yai national Park website the entry fees for foreigners is 200 baht even on the Internet it says 200 baht but they charge us 400 baht per person we are the group of many people so it become double the price that what we expected this is very disappointed Dual pricing scam for expats 40thb for Thai 400thb for foreigners even if you have a work permit ranger staff at the entrance told us to leave if we aren't happy paying 10 times more than locals. This is the worst experience and worst attitude we faced and we didn't see much wildlife in day time At night safari we see some but it's not worth it to pay 10× extra for that

The Phimai Historical Park is a rectangular temple complex filled with intricate carvings and stone sculptures. It is an impressive Khmer ruin located in Thailand, known for its grand scale and detailed designs. Built as a Mahayana Buddhist temple, it features carvings of Hindu deities and design elements similar to those found in Angkor Wat.
A great historical park dated back over a thousand years in great Kmer Kingdom. The place is well maintained, very shady with many big trees and green lawns.

"Experience the timeless beauty of Phimai – preserving the glory of an ancient civilization." Phimai Historical Park, located in Phimai District, Nakhon Ratchasima, is one of Thailand’s most significant historical sites. Built around the 11th–12th centuries, during the era of an ancient civilization in the region, it served as an important center for Mahayana Buddhism. The main sanctuary, crafted from white sandstone, features intricate carvings that reflect the exceptional skill and artistry of craftsmen from the past. The park is well-maintained, with clean, shaded walkways ideal for strolling and photography. Informative signs provide visitors with valuable insights into the architecture, history, and cultural significance of the site. Visitors are encouraged to follow park guidelines, avoid touching ancient structures, and show respect to help preserve its authenticity. Visiting Phimai is more than sightseeing — it is an opportunity to connect with history and support the preservation of a priceless cultural heritage. The peaceful atmosphere combined with the grandeur of the ancient architecture makes it an inspiring destination for those who value history and conservation. Phimai Historical Park is a must-visit for anyone exploring Nakhon Ratchasima — offering knowledge, enjoyment, and a deeper appreciation of Thailand’s rich past.

Phimai Temple (Prasat Hin Phimai) is one of the largest and most important Khmer temples in Thailand, renowned for its grand scale, exquisite carvings, and unique role as a Buddhist sanctuary built during the Khmer Empire. Located in Nakhon Ratchasima province, Phimai was constructed between the 11th and 12th centuries and served as a major religious and cultural hub at the end of the ancient highway that connected it directly to Angkor. Unlike many Khmer temples, which were dedicated to Hindu deities, Phimai was built as a Mahayana Buddhist temple, reflecting the spiritual diversity of the Khmer world. Highlights of Phimai Temple Architecture: The temple complex stretches over 1,000 by 600 meters, making it the largest Khmer site in Thailand. Its central sanctuary, built of white sandstone, is adorned with intricate lintels and pediments depicting both Hindu and Buddhist themes. Symbolism: The layout follows the Khmer cosmic plan, with the central prang representing Mount Meru, the axis of the universe. Interestingly it is one of the only Khmer temples to face south. Unique Identity: While its style resembles Angkor Wat, Phimai predates it by nearly a century and stands out for its explicitly Buddhist dedication.

That's amazing! The weather was lovely, perfect for a leisurely walk around the spacious 100-rai property. The grounds are beautifully preserved, with different rooms showcasing the architecture. At the back, there’s a massive tree believed to be over 400 years old. Admission: 200 baht for foreigners, 20 baht for Thai nationals, and free for children under 12. Parking: Available near the entrance, fits around 15 cars. Museum: Air-conditioned and pleasantly cool inside. Restrooms: Very clean. It’s absolutely worth bringing children to experience and appreciate ancient Khmer art. A truly valuable and worthwhile visit! ❤️🙏

Phimai Historical Park is a truly amazing and worthwhile visit, often compared to a more peaceful version of Angkor Wat. This beautiful example of Khmer architecture is a must-see for anyone in the region. The 200 Baht ticket is great value, granting you access to the park's well-preserved structures. While the park is generally open until 6:00 PM daily, be sure to check for special events or festivals, as these can include extended evening hours for unique experiences like a light-and-sound show.

I recently enjoyed an incredible Thai massage that left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, even into the next day. From the moment I entered, the peaceful atmosphere and the staff’s thoughtful attention made me feel instantly at ease. The massage itself was perfect, skillfully balancing deep pressure with gentle stretches, releasing all the tension in my body. Every movement seemed tailored to what I needed, and I left feeling lighter and more refreshed than I had in months. A delightful surprise was when they brought me a warm, delicious cup of tea afterward—a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more special. Sipping tea in such a serene space, with the staff’s genuine smiles lighting up the room, left me in a state of pure bliss. The warmth of their care stayed with me, and I found myself smiling the whole next day. It was an experience I won’t soon forget, and I can’t wait to return.

Upscale and professional massage shop. Classy operation and I have been very satisfied with the massage ladies here... A little more expensive than the average streetside walk in massage parlours but we'll worth it for the quality of the service you receive...

Had a great visit with my family while in town for a couple days. Two of us had foot massages and two got Thai massage. All were good. My Thai massage was especially good. I used google translate to let them know my right knee is injured. They gave it some extra careful attention. Rather than just avoiding that area, they helped me to heal. The end of the massage included some delicious tea and fruit. Overall it was a great visit.

Place is very nice and the staff very service minded. A bit more pricy than other places but you do get a very nice atmosphere and a spotless clean place. Unfortunately, the massage (Thai/Oil) was only average.

I was a student of 60-hour-Thai message course between 12-19 February 2025. This school’s teachers were very excellent in their knowledge and expertise. Also they were very attentive to teaching me, I felt like I almost got 1-1 lessons all the time, and I learned a lot during that course. I recommend studying traditional Thai message here both in Thai and in English.

Khao Kradong Forest Park

National park
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Khao Kradong Forest Park, situated on a former volcano just 10km from Buriram City, offers a serene escape with the highlight being the impressive Buddha statue, Phra Suphatbophit. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk through the peaceful forest and take in panoramic views of the town from the summit. The park also features attractions such as Si Lai Der slide, a long bridge, a large lagoon, and an entrance to the extinct volcano.
A good place to visit and study the geology of the non-erupting volcano in Thailand. There are many iconic places to visit especially to see the sunset and Buddha Statue on the top of the mountain.
Pum V — Google review
Worth the climb to see the Buddha and views, the walk down to the crater wasn't really worth it to be honest. I may have missed some bits to see though? There are refreshments at the bottom and top, which are pretty standard, plus some other stalls down the bottom. I round advise not climbing this in yhe midday sun! You can ride scooter up but road was closed when I visited.
Shane C — Google review
Nice views once you have walked up the stairs. Moderate climb to get there. Maybe a little run down. There’s some souvenir shops and clean amenities on top near the monument. Some construction going on, could be more viewing platforms being added.

Apart from the volcano and Buddha statue, there wasn't much to see. There was a lot of construction when I went. There's an outdoor café near the Buddha statue that's worth visiting.

Giant Buddha, the respectable Buddha of Buriram people, is located on the top of the hill. You can go there by driving or walking up the stairs. Sightseeing the town from there, playing a local slide called Si Lai Der (warning : if the slide is wet, it goes too fast), walking through a long bridge, visiting a huge lagoon and a volcano entrance. Great place to visit.

Fabulous views across buriram,the monument of Buddha is beautiful looking over buriram..we got a bus up to the monument and to the bridge for the volcano.it was very hot and humid but worth the visit..we had noodles 🍜 soup and cola at a restaurant at the bottom and it was the best noodles 🍜 soup I've had in Thailand in 2 weeks, aroy mak mak 😊.
David P — Google review
This is a nice place to visit, very peaceful. The steps up to the monument aren't too bad, but if you are unable to walk, you can drive to the top. We also walked around the road and to the suspension bridge over the volcano. If you are thirsty or hungry, there are plenty of small stores/restaurants at the bottom and a couple at the top.

Chang Arena

Stadium

I visited Chang Arena for a crucial match between Buriram and Chiang Rai, where a victory would have secured the league title. However, an equalizer in the dying minutes postponed the celebrations. Despite that disappointment, there was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the game with both teams playing some impressive football. Spending only 70 baht to watch such an exciting match was excellent value for money.
I've been here for the first time in buriram watching a professional football game. Such an unforgettable experience so impressive!

By far, the best football stadium in Thailand. It usually has a superb crowd who are very knowledgeable and make a lot of noise. If you want to see a really good game of football, I suggest you visit the stadium. It also does tours and has food courts, and an interesting park nearby

Got taken into the stadium where the fans sit. Two minutes later the guide (who never talked to me) told me it was time to leave. I asked about seeing the dressing rooms which he said no at first but then when I explained it's part of the tour, he quickly ushered me in and out. Came to Buriram just for the stadium tour and it was over within literally 5 minutes. So disappointing.

This place is fantastic! Really enjoyed our tour of the rooms and facilities. We have now been to quite a few football matches there, the atmosphere is electric and the chanting, music, and drums are incredible! The home team has a HUGE following, the visiting teams are usually met with an almost deathly silence 🤫 😆

Imposing Buddhist temple with gilded statues, mosaics & panoramic views from 9 tiered balconies.
Wat Nong Waeng is a very unique temple, unlike any I've seen before. The surrounding area is also quite nice, with a lake and a park where you can stroll around or escape the city's heat. They often prepare food for visitors, so donations are always welcome. This is a must-see if you are in Khon Kaen.

Beautiful smaller temple located in between some of the main temples in Khon Kaen. The temple ground were under renovation when I visited but the temples itself are still a beauty to behold. Worth paying a visit and spending 10-15 minutes here
Kasper H — Google review
Wat Nong Waeng Phra Aram Luang is a famous temple in Khon Kaen province and is recognized as a royal temple. It’s a large temple with many parking lot available for visitors. Tourists are expected to dress modestly and respectfully, ensuring shoulders and knees are covered. Women are not allowed to wear short skirts above the knee or sleeveless tops. Before entering the pagoda, which houses sacred relics, all visitors are required to remove their shoes. The temple provides cloth bags for carrying shoes inside, as theft has occurred in the past. Visitors are advised to place their shoes in the provided bags and carry them while exploring the pagoda. The ground floor of the pagoda serves as a space for making merit and features several donation boxes. The interior is intricately decorated and visually stunning. Tourists can also climb to the top of the pagoda, which has nine floors in total. The stairs are steep, so caution is advised. From the ninth floor, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Khon Kaen city.
Donlawat C — Google review
This is my 2nd time here and it is one of the most beautiful temples in Khon Kaen. There is a stair access to the 9 levels of pagoda but it might be too steep for some people. It was very crowded when we visited.
Dave C — Google review
One of my favourite Temples in Thailand and definitely in the city of Khon Kaen. This Temple is a Khon Kaen land mark and tourist destination. It hosts 9 levels each with artworks, artefacts, shrines, and information much like a museum. Each level represents the ascension to enlightenment and there is a 360 degree view of the surrounding city on every level. The ground floor is the main floor where locals come to greet the monks and pray. I really like this Temple because of its beautiful architecture and surrounding grounds, the view of the city from each level, the artworks, artefacts and information scattered all around. Artworks include paintings that depict traditional every day Thai life, correct behaviour as taught by the scriptures as well as the story of the life of the The Buddha carved into the doors and window shutters. It is easy to spend a whole day here getting lost wandering around discovering new area's while viewing the surrounding city from one of the best vantage points in Khon Kaen.
Daniel K — Google review
Wat Nong Wang (วัดหนองแวง) is Khon Kaen city’s biggest, most important temple, and also its one must-see tourist attraction. It was founded in 1789, the same year the city was settled, though there are no old buildings left. It became a royal temple in 1984. About 55 monks and 225 novices live here. It’s ordinary in most regards, except for the stunning nine-story Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon, a stupa unlike any other in Thailand. Many of the links below take you to other articles explaining the art in detail. Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon The ground floor is open 6am-5pm and floors 2-9 are open 8am-4.30pm. Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon stupa was built to celebrate both the king’s golden jubilee (celebration of 50 years on the throne) and the two hundredth birthday of Khon Kaen city. It is 50m long on the side and 80m tall and has nine floors because he was King Rama 9. Construction was started in 1990 and it was inaugurated in 1996. The idea for the stupa came from the highly respected Luang Paw Koon Kantigo, the then abbot. The design was inspired by the Eiffel Tower and the Shwedagon Pagoda, both of which he saw while travelling. The most important of the abbot’s ideas, however, is the stupa’s curved shape, chosen to be that made by a hanging fishing net – called a catenary curve in physics. People’s ashes are kept in the stupas at each of the four corners and the naga-topped wall around the stupa. Before construction, when this area was still rice field, a naga came to tell a high-ranking monk in a dream that there was a naga breathing hole where the stupa was going to be built. So, the stupa was built about 10m from the original intended location and these naga were incorporated into the design. The shape of the top part of the stupa was inspired by Phra That Kham Kaen stupa (notice the redented corners) north of the city and has a golden-colored vine pattern similar to that on the very important Phra That Phanom stupa in Nakhon Phanom province. Ground Floor The temple’s center of activity is the stupa’s ground floor, which has a Buddha relic inside a chamber with a nine-spired roof. Next to it is a life-like resin statue of Luang Paw Koon Kantigo, the previous abbot (Unusual, because these are normally made after an abbot has died, but this one was put here many years before.), and in the back is a copy of the Chinnarat Buddha (from Phitsanulok); two copies of Phra Kaew (the Emerald Buddha), one green and one orange; and a baby Buddha. They are facing west, rather than the usual east, because the original Chinnarat Buddha also faces west. Along the northern wall is a table with 108 alms bowls (for donating 108 coins) and another full of daily Buddhas. The number 108 was important in ancient India and so it is found in many Buddhist stories, most importantly the 108 signs of perfection to show that he was the Buddha – this is also why there are often 108 symbols on the soles of many large Buddha footprints.

The main Temple of Khonkaen called Wat - Nong - Wang (in Thai). There is 9 floor with closely pyramid shape. All decoration is very Thai, which beautiful, charming and richy by the golden colour of gold. The activity is walk around the floor then step up to the top of temple. The location is beside of kaennakorn swamp that very massive impress by the top view from the top of Nongwang temple.

As a non believer I can review just the multi storey building. Once you get the last floor you will see an amazing 360 degrees view. The stairs are not easy to climb because the steps are high and narrow.

Every November, the Surin Elephant Festival showcases hundreds of majestic elephants in a vibrant three-day celebration. Visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in this unique environment, where they can engage in meaningful discussions about elephant welfare and their living conditions. Spending at least a week here allows you to connect with the dedicated staff, including the warm-hearted Ann, who ensures your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.

The Sirindhorn Museum is a natural history exhibition featuring locally discovered dinosaur fossils and informative panels geared towards children. The museum surprised visitors with its spacious layout and detailed information provided in both English and Thai. Despite some broken interactive displays, kids thoroughly enjoyed the visit which could easily last up to two hours. The museum is larger than nearby Phu Wiang and even offers access to the actual dig site just 200m away.
We were driving from Bangkok to Kalasin around 8 hours. But it’s worth. Much visit if you in Thailand

We visited the dinosaur museum in Kalasin and had a really great time. It’s an impressive place with a lot to see and learn, especially for kids who love dinosaurs. The exhibitions are interesting and there’s a lot of history packed into the museum. You can tell it’s been there a while, though – some parts are starting to look a bit worn and could use some maintenance. Still, the overall experience was absolutely worth it. After the museum, we walked up the hill behind it to visit a beautiful temple at the top. The view from up there is fantastic and adds something extra to the whole trip. If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend stopping by. It’s a fun and educational outing with a nice mix of nature, culture, and prehistoric adventure.

A good place for dinosaur lovers! Probably the best in the SEA region. Big enough with lots of exhibits of skeletons and fossils of ancient animals. However, some exhibits are broken or not well kept, so not in a good shape. The excavation site, up the hill, is interesting and not to be missed.

The Sirindhon Museum in Kalasin province offers a fantastic educational experience for all ages. This museum provides insight into fossils, particularly dinosaur fossils, and the methods used to preserve them. Children, especially those in primary school, will be fascinated by the diverse range of dinosaur species on display, making it difficult to leave this captivating place. It's a source of wonder and discovery that goes beyond traditional knowledge found in textbooks or libraries. Established by HRH Princess Sirindhon, the museum is a highly recommended destination that focuses on educational enrichment for both children and adults. We had a wonderful time at the museum. Definitelt a Mus-See attraction , when you stay in Kalasin. Kudos kalasin!

Not to recommend for foreigners, as they have to pay the triple price for a ticket! Thai perst is 50 Bath entrance fee and for foreigners 150 Bath. Even with a WP and pink Thai identity card, they'll charge the triple price! Very sad as it could be interesting and something I usually would like to support with my hard earned money. Tourismus friendly should be different in my opinion!

Ho Kaeo Mukdahan: City Observation Tower

Sights & Landmarks
Observation Decks & Towers
The Ho Kaeo Mukdahan is a heritage tower standing at 215-feet tall, providing visitors with breathtaking views of the area from its glass viewing deck. The ascent to the top involves roughly 250 steps until the rondel and another 50 steps until the dome. Although the elevator was out of operation, climbing up was worth it for the stunning panoramic view over Mukdahan and Laos across the river.
Beautiful place, good location. There are a lot of historical artifacts from mukdahan on several floors. The views are also fantastic. Definitely worth a visit (especially during weekday, there was no one!) Ticket price for Adult : 30 thb for Thai and 50 thb for foreigner
Pagamas R — Google review
A nice and somewhat easy to reach viewpoint in Mukdahan. Entrance fee for foreigners is 50 bath and there’s a small museum on the ground floor and second floor and the you got the viewpoint area at level 5. It’s a good place to go see and you have beautiful view at the Mekong River, Laos and Mukdahan city.
Kasper H — Google review
This tower is an old-fashioned museum, stuck in the past. It costs 50 baht to get in if you're on your own, not 30. The viewing area has binoculars, but you have to pay extra to use them, and half of them are broken. The window tinting is really bad. The staff just don't care. Honestly, the tower is more depressing than entertaining. I liked the small park outside more than the tower itself.
Ruslan S — Google review
City tower to see the city from 360 angle. The tower has been built long time ago, it may not that fancy compared to other brand-new built tower but it is the symbol of the city and it is still worth to visit.

The iconic ancient historical pagoda looked stunning in the night. Everyone arriving would come here first and walking 3 times in clockwise direction around the pagoda to pay respects. So don't miss this site. If you've never been to the place, that means you never really visit Nakhon Phanom. By the way it's quite convenient to travel by several alternative transportation options.

It's incredible place in countryside. if you come here in rainy season you wouldn't see anything. During the day it's too hot but I love to see all these rocks.

Beautiful and unique view you can find there. There is a boat tour for river view. Best to come when river is at low level, in high water season you will see nothing.

Truly one of the wonders along the Mekong!!! Highly recommend to take a longtail boat from Had Salung nearby (1,000 baht for the boat, up to 12 people) to really appreciate this part of the river and the different areas around. Come either really early in the morning (6am-8am) or after 4pm to avoid the scorching sun. A must visit!

This is one of those out of your way type attractions to go to. Out of all the views in Thailand, this one is just mediocre at best. Of course, I'm biased, but let me explain that this was one of the last things I did in Thailand before going back to Bangkok. Meaning, before I went here I was in Phuket, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi, Phang Nga, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Let me get to the experience for you. We arrived via car, and immediately went to go get lunch at the only restaurant in the area. After lunch, we were joined by another family and rented a truck to go the ~1km down the cliff, and to the start of the hiking area. The hike was guided, and the guide would explain to you the different pools and holes. S/he would take you to specific holes and tell you what they looked like. A heart, Mickey Mouse head and 800 shaped hole are to name a few. If you choose to do so, you could also hire a boat to go on a river cruise through the canyon area. That being said, perhaps my grading of 3 stars is a bit harsh in comparison to others that have been here, but I feel it realistic in the sense that if you were to ask, "Hey, I'm going to Thailand, should Ubon be high on my list?" My response would be: "Only if you have enough time, like exploring and it is not your first trip to Thailand." I do not feel that this is a place that you should really go out of your way for. But is it worth experiencing? Yes, that is the short answer. Decide for yourself whether you like it or not. I would never say don't do something, if you asked if you should try it. The better question would be "Do you think I will like it?" My answer to that is, the novelty of the place will wear away quickly.

There is a choice of walking to the boulders or taking a ride in a pick up which will cost 200 THB for a round trip. There is some climbing involved so be careful. Once at the rocks there are guilds for hire. The famous formation are Mickey mouse which was easy to find, Heart and number 800.

Love this place. Was really amazed by all the rock formation and very grateful such place exists in this country. I feel like it has such high potential for tourism to really develop but maybe nobody cares enough to promote it? Still lovely and quiet the way it is though so maybe it is a blessing.

Sam Pan Bok (Thai: สามพันโบก) is known as the "Grand Canyon of Thailand" and is the biggest rock reef in the Mekong River region. Sam Phan Bok translates as 3,000 shallow lakes and is a fascinating sightseeing spot with countless photo opportunities also great for Drone pilots.

Ta Con Airport Relic Museum

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Ta Con Airport Relic Museum, located at the historic Khe Sanh Combat Base, serves as a poignant reminder of the Vietnam War's tumultuous past. This site is particularly significant for American veterans who return to confront their memories and pay tribute to those who lost their lives during the infamous 77-day siege. The museum offers a reflective space where visitors can honor both sides' sacrifices amidst beautifully maintained relics that tell stories of pain and resilience.
Arriving at Khe Sanh and Tà Cơn Airport on a spring day, the cool air and soft sunlight create an unexpectedly peaceful atmosphere. Setting aside political matters, let's reflect on the brutality of war, hoping that there will be no more any bloody war on the land of Vietnam. Some of the facilities show signs of damage, and we hope the management will carry out maintenance and repairs soon. The ticket price is 50,000 VND per person.

A humbling experience. For all sides. I got to walk alone quiet around the field. It must have been hell there. Though provoking and I believe if you have any interest you should go.
The R — Google review
I’ve been visiting the Khe Sanh Combat Base and its Ta Con airstrip museum for 17 years, often with American veterans who fought in Vietnam. This site, infamous for the 77-day siege where countless American GIs and fifteen thousand of North Vietnamese soldiers lost their lives, is more than a historical landmark—it’s a place of healing. For the veterans, it’s a chance to face their past and honor the fallen, and for me, it’s a space to reflect on the sacrifices of both sides. I often think of those who died here and hope their souls rest in peace. That said, the museum experience could be improved. The interior exhibitions lean a bit biased in their presentation, and some photo captions are inaccurate—corrections would add credibility. Accessibility is another issue; there’s no ramp for wheelchair users, limiting who can fully explore the site. The souvenir counter feels cluttered and could be reorganized to create a warmer, more welcoming vibe for visitors. On a brighter note, the surrounding area boasts some of Vietnam’s best coffee, a legacy started by Frenchman Eugène Poilane in the mid-1920s. Sipping it amid the now-peaceful coffee fields adds a unique layer to the visit. Khe Sanh remains a powerful, humbling place, but a few updates could make it even more meaningful for those who come to remember.

Hearing a lot of stories on the battle of Khe Sanh, which was one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War, I decided to come and see the museum. I must admit I was not disappointed as I could learn Abu the story of the 1968 Battle of Khe Sanh and the role the base played during the war.
R. C — Google review
Again on the DMZ tour. This was an interesting place and the history around the area and why it was put here as a combat base to shut off the Ho Chi Minh trail. A few interesting relics still here such as bunkers, a Patton tank, an APC and a Huey and Chinook helicopter. The museum tells of the siege to take the area and subsequent battles. Good for the history buffs.

Nice site bulit on the former marine air base in Khe Sanh. Small musuem of the conflict from the Vietnamese viewpoint. Some old aircraft and tanks of US origin still onsite as well.

A bunch of old war junk and a small decent museum. Not worth the 50k admission. I had high hopes. The Indy redeeming feature was the overly friendly vietnamese ladies I met there

Annam Tour is a reputable travel agency that provides exceptional tour services. Their knowledgeable and fluent English-speaking guide, Mr Vu, specializes in military history and is highly recommended for enthusiasts. Clients have had a fantastic time on their tours with Annam Tour and express their gratitude for the great experience provided by Mr Vu. This travel agency has been praised for its outstanding service and professionalism, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore Vietnam's rich cultural heritage.
Mr. Vu is an excellent tour guide. We did a day trip from Hue to the DMZ and tunnels. Even though our background knowledge about the vietnam war was limited, he took the time to explain everything in detail and did not get tired of answering our many questions. His tablet with extra pictures was a big help, since the museums are a bit basic. His car, a Ford SUV, was in very good shape and comfy. His driving was very smooth and safe, even for European standards.
John L — Google review
We were absolutely thrilled with the trip that Vu planned for us! We spent 5 days with him touring numerous sites where my father served while in the army. We would not have been able to access many of the places we visited without his wealth of knowledge of the area and sites related to the war. If we return to Vietnam again, we would only consider booking a tour with Vu!

The best tour guide you will ever find anywhere is called Mr Vu. What a genuine, friendly, insightful, personable, passionate and knowledgeable guide we have had the privilege to carry us through the rugged and dramatic landscape of the former DMZ. Mr Vu has perfect English but mostly perfect knowledge of every detail you could possibly want to have about the battles that took place in the area, the camps and units that resided there, and the terrible hardships the local population has had to go through. Everything on the tour is fine tuned, wherever you are Mr vu will diligently pick you up and drive you everywhere. Please use his services if you want to visit the DMZ, we were listening to other guides sometimes and they were not explaining things as well as he was. Do not hesitate to book him ! Thank you Mr Vu !

Booked this tour to the DMZ and Vinh Moc Tunnels as a gift for my partner, who’s a history buff. The drive from Da Nang was long but scenic, with a very friendly and professional driver. Mr Vu’s passion and knowledge of history made the experience unforgettable—he offered fascinating insights into the war from a Vietnamese perspective and how it shapes attitudes and culture today. Bonus: an unexpected but delicious roadside pho lunch. Excellent value and highly recommended if you want a deep dive into war and military history.
PBarr L — Google review
We recommend Annam Tour. Mr Vu is a fantastic guide having fluent English and deep knowledge about the DMZ and the war itself. He makes that your imagination brings you to the times of war. With Mr Vu each hill and square of the DMZ has its own history. In addition, Mr Vu shows historical photos on a tablet which is an added value. Finally, he uses a good quality car which is an advantage over other tours. For sure worth the price.

Vinh Moc Tunnels

Mentioned on

Historical landmark

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled in the northern region of Quang Tri, the Vinh Moc Tunnels stand as a remarkable testament to resilience during the Vietnam War. This extensive network of limestone tunnels, stretching nearly 2 kilometers and reaching depths of up to 23 meters, was ingeniously crafted by local villagers seeking refuge from relentless bombings. Unlike other tunnel systems like Cu Chi, Vinh Moc offers spacious chambers complete with wells and living quarters that showcase the ingenuity and bravery of those who sought shelter within its walls.
It was a part of our DMZ tour. Inside the tunnel has meeting room, family room, maternity ward, operation room, kitchen, storage and bathroom with ventilator. Pretty impressive. We went there in May. It was a very hot and humid day. Inside the tunnel we felt uncomfortable at the beginning with little air. But it's not claustrophobic. Sometimes the tunnel is narrow and tight. I slipped on the wet steps, but my husband caught me just in time and was unharmed. Need to crawl to avoid startling the centipedes and spiders. It was quite the experience.
Debalina G — Google review
Was a great place to see what it was like for the Vietnamese resistance against the Americans and south Vietnam. The lady that talked to us knew a lot but it sounded like it was off a script (fair enough since English isn’t here first language). The walk through the tunnel was small but really showed us just how they had to live to survive (if you are tall you actually might not fit unless you crawl). The only downside which could have just been our group but we just straight walked through the tunnel and didn’t learn much about like how they lived or what it felt like maybe it was just hard when it’s so small, in that case if it was just our group the tunnels are a great way to learn and understand another side of the Vietnam war instead of just the Americans.
Christian B — Google review
This Vietnam historic tunnel system is not anything like Cu Chi tunnel, and absolutely worths the visit. It speaks the voices of Vietnamese heroic ancestors who gave up their "today" so that we, their descendants, can wake up "tomorrow". Forever be grateful to the war invalids and martyrs ♥️
Trang N — Google review
Came as part of the DMZ tour from Hue. Very interesting to hear all the history of the tunnels. An amazing place dug out in 18 months and used as home for around 300 people from the village during the war. Incredible how they managed to live for such a long time in these spaces with limited time to get out to enjoy fresh air. Bomb craters still litter the area so you get an impression of how heavily the area was targeted. If you don't do the whole tour it's definitely worth making time to visit here anyway. Very interesting.
Robert S — Google review
Thoroughly worth the trip. Fascinating exploration of the cave system. We just turned up, purchased entry tickets, and asked for a guide. There is a 30min video presentation you can watch beforehand which explains the story of the tunnels. Our guide was a 3rd generation villager whose parents were born in the tunnels. She gave us a very emotional account of her parents plight in the tunnels. We arrived around 1pm and spent about 3hrs for the whole visit. Be prepared to walk down steep steps in narrow tunnels up to 30m underground. There are no handrails so reasonable mobility and fitness is required.
Mark M — Google review
If you are traveling through Vietnam, or at least passing by through here from north to south it HAS to be one of your stops! It’s my third time in Vietnam but the very first in the tunnels and the only thing I regret is not coming here earlier. It was an enlightening experience getting to know more about the history and being able to see where it happened. Vietnam proves once again why they are such a strong, resilient and beautiful country.
Gabriela — Google review
DMZ tunnels North Vietnam. Very impressive to see what the build to survive, because these tunnels were only meant to keep civilians save during the bombing. There were 3 levels from 10, 15 and 23 meters deep. The second level was for utilising 200 up to 1000 people (worst case) having familie rooms, a baby room (17 kids were born underground, 16 still living) and an operating/medical room. The 3rd level (23 meters) was only for storing food and weapons to defend, because the humidity was too high to live there. Longest stay of people inside was only five days during bombardments.
Roger H — Google review
This place is cool! Worth the visit especially if the tour include other turístic spots. Don't come only for the Tunnels, buy a package that include many places in the area.

Hue Historic Citadel

Historic Sites
The Hue Historic Citadel, also known as the Imperial City of Hue, is a significant attraction in Vietnam and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It served as the royal palace for the Nguyen Dynasty for 140 years. The walled fortress spans 10 kilometers with impressive fortifications and features like the Imperial Enclosure and Forbidden Purple City. Visitors can explore attractions such as the ceremonial Thai Hoa Palace and Ngo Mon Gate within this historical complex.
The Imperial City (Hoàng thành), located inside the walled city of Huế, was the former royal capital of Vietnam during the Nguyen dynasty This is recognized by UNESCO as the world cultural heritage for over 30 years. I have experience many vicissitudes of history of Vietnam over centuries from many dynasties until Vietnam became a republic. The imperial city is still a long lasting and remain one of the most cherished values. Visitors will be able to learn about the 13 Nguyen dynasty kings who ruled Vietnam from 18th century to 1945. The many palace buildings that spread across the big compound was nice and grand and somehow you will feel that history has come alive from walking around. Note that the traveller could be spending half a day for walking tour.
Thanh T — Google review
Was really nice to be able to walk the walls of the citadel and the information panels along the way added all the relevant info. You could get an idea of how important the defences were in times gone by. Shame you couldn't get to upper levels in the towers. Take time to have a walk if you're in the area.

Go between June and August for better weather. Still, such a great day trip from Da Nang with its rich history and passionate restoration work. You will see some Vietnamese locals dressed up in traditional wear taking photos, making the experience even more surreal.

Must visit. If you’re visiting Hue, plan to visit Citadel along with the tombs. Do a 2 days tour and don’t rush. Guided tours will offer more. Excellent capital city. Rich history and great architecture. You’ll be satisfied with the experience.

Hue Imperial City was built in 1804 under King Gia Long and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993. I love walking around the ancient palace and admire the beauty at every corner. Hundred years ago, it used to a enormous and glorious palace. Sadly, many constructions are damaged, though they are being restored, could not bring back the original spirit of the place. The atmosphere was quite sad in a rainy day.
Han N — Google review
Come to the palace for a photo op, especially in traditional costumes. It's not a particularly interesting place for a casual tour, but it's beautiful in its details. If you're visiting on a sunny day, be sure to bring an umbrella, as there's very little shade.
TatyanKA G — Google review
Overall, it was a solid experience, though I expected a bit more. The complex is huge, but the overall layout could be better organized. I didn’t take the audio guide because I don’t like using headphones — probably a mistake. The descriptions of the monuments were quite minimal and not very engaging. I also chose a bad day to visit since it was extremely hot.

Expansive area of historic city with palaces, temples and official buildings. Visited on a rainy day and spent an entire afternoon walking through the corridors and alleys. Not as beautiful as present day Vietnam but still worth visiting
