Local Attractions

Three nearby attractions showcase the best of northeastern Thailand:

• Wat Phra That Phanom: A 45-minute drive from the resort, this sacred Buddhist temple is home to a 2,000-year-old stupa believed to house relics of the Buddha. Ornate Khmer-style carvings and golden spires make it one of the most revered religious sites in Isan.
• Kaeng Tana National Park: Just an hour’s drive from the resort, this lush riverside park features dramatic limestone cliffs, hiking trails through tropical forest, and seasonal rapids perfect for kayaking and swimming.
• Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival: If visiting in July, don’t miss this iconic annual celebration in downtown Ubon, 30 minutes from the resort, featuring giant hand-carved wax candles, traditional parades, and folk performances.

Travel Tips

The resort’s higher floors are only accessible by stairs, so guests with mobility issues should request a ground-floor room when booking. Most services including golf, spa treatments, laundry, and meeting facilities are paid separately, so carry small Thai baht notes for extra purchases. Isan weather is hot year-round, so pack lightweight, breathable clothing and sunscreen for pool days and outdoor excursions. The front desk speaks both Thai and English, making check-in and itinerary planning seamless for international travelers.
