Wat Nongwang is probably the most spectacular as it also provides a good view of the city. This is an important temple and contains artifacts that are important to the local population. Another interesting temple is Wat Wutharam which can be found near the train station. This temple is right next to a lake and there are some stalls selling fish nearby.
Wat Nongwang is located south of the city on Klangmuang Road. This Wat was built at the cost of around 40 million baht. A good view of Khon Kaen city and Bung Kaen Nakhon Lake can be seen from the 9-tiered balcony that surrounds the outside of the Temple. The wat abbott will occasionally invite visitors to the top of the wat to view ancient Buddhist artifacts
