A nice place to spend a few hours or have a picnic. Nicely landscaped with plenty of shady places to sit or stroll on the small island. Sizeable children's playground, toilets, even a tai chi area. There's a bike path that rings the park, not sure of the overall length, maybe around 3 km. Across the road along the east side of the park, there are many local restaurants (at the north end) and a whole row of massage shops (at the south end). Prices at these massage shops are lower than those near Central Plaza, so if you're on a budget you might consider walking over to this part of town. All together, this park is absolutely worth a visit for a relaxing morning or afternoon outing.

Starting at the main entrance on the east side, you can do a very nice circular walk crossing two pedestrian suspension bridges to include the island in the lake. Some lovely tropical plants and trees line the walking and cycle paths. There are several children's play areas, including the Dino land, as well as workout/ exercise stations dotted around the area. On the east side, there are several huts where you can get food and drink; a chilled drink was most welcome in the scorching heat of the day. I think this place will be much busier at night when it's cooler.

Very nice place. The whole walk around the lake is 3,150 m, information for runners too! There is a special way, dedicated for biking too! Very safe for people who only walk or run then!

My favorite part of the park is the 3Km bike lane that circumnavigates the lake. It’s well maintained and flat which makes it a great ride, whether for just taking in the scenery, or exercising. There’s also a bike rental place.

I love this place and visit every time I come to Udon. A beautiful lake, cycling and walking lanes plus bikes to hire. When you've finished exercising there are heaps of massage places and cafes.

Huge public park in town. Good location for joking. Don't forget to say hi to yellow duck family. Beware of the sun if you plan to visit around 12 to 15 o clock.

This park is a good travel spot for chilling and exercising. Areas of the park are expansive, and you can picnic with friends in the park. Park close to museums and cafes. There will be many people after work. Around the park, there are cycling lanes and ponds. There are trees along the way. Nights can be a little dark, and sometimes I go cycling, I can't see streetlights. An interesting point is the inflatable duck doll that floats on the pond. There are festive decorations, and there's a duck boat too. Whenever I go to this place, I head for the bridge across the ponds and take pictures of the views. The atmosphere is very comfortable.

I have been several times now and I go for a specific reason, to birdwatch. Having plenty of ornithological experience in the uk, Thailand has many more species of birds. This park in the winter is home to Coppersmith Barbets, Green Bee-eaters and Two-barred Warblers to name a few.

Excellent public park with water, playgrounds, exercise area dance area, and running/biking track. I went at around 7 pm and saw plenty of locals exercising. The entire park is well lit at night. Just be careful about the plentiful mosquitoes.

My experience as a solo traveler at this park was overall pleasant. It offers a variety of children's play areas, making it a great spot for families. However, I was disappointed to find that the food places were permanently closed. On the positive side, the park provides bicycle rentals and offers lovely walking paths surrounded by exotic flora. The only drawback was the closure and apparent disrepair of the duck boats. Despite this, I had a nice time exploring the park on my solo trip

Beautiful public park in Udon Thani..one of most popular park in Thailand

Nong Prajak Park is a wonderful place for an evening stroll. It's approximately 3 km around and has separate paths for bicycles and pedestrians. I particularly enjoy the event. From marathons to music, there's often something new.

Looks like this place has certainly taken its toll from the Covid. So deserted.

Great place for dinner. Many food stalls serving tasty food at reasonable prices. Unfortunately some of the tastiest foods are available for take away only. They have a bigger selection of clothing than UD Town night market. It's a good place to spend a few hours in the evening - shopping, eating, drinking, and people watching. Muxh more a local feel than UD Town. I only knock it down to 4 stars because the toilets aren't as modern as those at UD Town.

Great variety of foods to choose from at good prices, in the evening, beautiful area to dine and few drinks with the local community under the night sky

the food night (and afternoon) market is a very busy place, Night market with broad variety of awesome food at incredible cheap prices (as others said before). Don't leave Udon without visiting this place! (Last in Sept 2022)

A large variety of "shops" selling Thai food, snacks, fruit etc. 90% of the shops are food oriented, plus some selling clothing, imported plastic stuff from China. There are eating places, some with live music. The food is, of course, very authentic Thai. Prices are very inexpensive...a basic dish with rice is less than 2 dollars . grilled whole fish with trimmings around 5 dollars.

Lovely place to enjoy your evening with nice food, drinks and live music.

Best food in Thailand and very reasonable prices. We ate here every day 😍

Great option if your looking for an open air market with plenty of choices of food and drink. Entertainment most nights, just background music. Children welcome. Plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

Great local food and value for money. Popular with the locals too

The mall isn't cheap, but it has good airconditioning. So it is nice to look around during the hottest parts of the day. They have brand stores, but also a lot of different kinds of food. Including some sort of food market which would have been a lot more enjoyable if they didn't put up a full sound system just to tell you about the food they're selling on this market. It is literally so loud you cannot even hear yourself when you try to speak.to each other. I would rate it 4 or 5 stars if it wasn't so absurdly loud. As an alternative you could go to the basement where you have something more of the likes of a food court. You buy all the food you want and then eat it at one of the tables.

2023年10月初旬の月曜に訪問。街の中心的ショッピングセンターか？映画館から専門店、飲食店、フードコート、ゲームコーナーなど揃っています。午前10時過ぎに入った時は、閑散としてましたが、午後２時過ぎにはどこも人でいっぱい。特にフードコートや4階の寛ぎ広場？では学生風の人で満員でした。 周辺の店も含め、バンコクより物価が安いので主要都市を訪問したタイ好き日本人には、是非訪問してほしいですね。 (Translated by Google) Visited on a Monday in early October 2023. Is it the main shopping center in town? There are movie theaters, specialty stores, restaurants, food courts, game corners, and more. When I arrived after 10am, it was quiet, but by 2pm, the place was packed with people. Especially the food court and the relaxing plaza on the 4th floor? The place was packed with student-like people. Prices are lower than in Bangkok, including the surrounding shops, so if you're a Thai-loving Japanese person visiting a major city, I highly recommend you visit here.

It's a modern big shopping complex with multiple storey. There are major brands of retailers here, including Mark & Spencer, Tag Hauer, Victoria Secret, Starbucks, H&M....etc. Supermarkets and Food Centre is in the basement. Top floor have a cinema and children's play entertainment. Restaurants are mostly on the 4th floor. There are also major banks on the 3rd. You can spend a whole day here without stepping out.

Large modern mall, tons of stores. Prices only slightly higher than elsewhere in Udon, high quality stores. Many food and drink places of all sorts. Great coffee at McDonald's!

Like all Central's, I love them. Great selection of places to eat and different cuisines and some great market stalls to get the wife some decent clothes at reasonable prices.

This shopping mall is big and has popular shops and food places inside. They have Uniqlo, and Mcdonald's, KFC and Sizzlers if you're looking for a break on Thai food. There's plenty of food offerings at their food park as well. There's money exchange, cafes and shoe stores too. Bathrooms are well stocked and clean. Udon Thani is a busy city and there is a university too so there's a lot of students and families shopping here.

Lots of parking, large range of shops, restaurants and a large very popular food court. Tops Supermarket is well laid out with lots of aisle space Great place to escape the heat.

Big shopping mall, u can dind almost everything here.

Food festival at 1st floor. There are many food shops and variety of foods and desserts. It was crowded on weekends and full parking lot

I hope I have another chance to explore this central Udon, because I came here last time in less than two hour. The location is near the terminal bus. I just visited an Amazon cafe.

ウドンタニ随一（唯一？）の巨大ショッピングモール。 フードコートおよびそれ以外の飲食店が非常に豊富で使いやすいですね。 ロットゥーのバスセンター的な機能も果たしてるようです。 スーパー部門もやや高めですが、割りとしっかりした物を扱ってます。 ウドンタニに来たら一度はお世話になると思います。 (Translated by Google) Udon Thani's best (only?) Huge shopping mall. The food court and other restaurants are very abundant and easy to use. It seems that it also fulfills the function of Rotto's bus center. The supermarket section is also a little expensive, but it handles relatively solid items. If you come to Udon Thani, I think you will be taken care of once.

There’s a lounge on the 4th floor where you can relax or charge your gadgets.

One of my absolutely favorite destinations when coming back from Isaan or arriving from SouthThailand before travelling on to Nongkhai. Always worth a visit if you like totally friendly people around you, hundreds of shops and good Restaurants. . My absolutely Tip is RYUSHIN Sushi in Ground floor, next to the huge FoodCourt infront of my second favorite YAMAZAKI Bakery - Great Bread here, try the buns and the baguette. . RIYUSHIN is one of the best places of Sushi to go i know, and i am kind of Sushi addicted and travelled a lot. Its like a Sushibar in Tokyo. Taste is great and always new inventions on how to arrange this little things.... Check it out you won`t regret it . Directly infront CENTRAL you can find Taxis or minibuses to nearly any location in the Region. ♥♥♥

Well maintained mall with many great upscale stores. Can find whatever you need. Has many good restaurants.

I walked by the food court as well as the floor with restaurants. There was a wide variety of food available. The restaurants upstairs were mainly Korean and Japanese food restaurants. In the food court on the ground floor, you have to purchase a food card and use it at the stalls. There is no cash being paid directly by the customer to the stalls.

There is food fair, many local Thai cuisine, snack and dessert as well. Very tasty food but is abit expensive unless you buy more in quantity whereby more discounts

Visited Central for shopping, arcade, eating. Great place, ample car parking space, clean toilets, great arcade for kids.

Great range of specialty shops and a variety of restaurants and food shops to please everyone. Always clean and staff very friendly and helpful. This time we had lunch at Fuji Restaurant. Food perfectly presented and delicious. Recommend fully.

This is Central Plaza, one of the first places we visited because we wanted to get some Thai baht. Has a food court on the ground floor with a variety of tasty, delicious, spiced foods. Yummy 😋 And a grocery store. Modern and pleasant in it's design.

The exhibition was educational and we'll put together. What I really want to add is a story about the staff. They were all great but the gentleman who is pictured with my review was exceptional. While I was at the ticket booth at the entrance I accidentally dropped a 20 baht bill. Unnoticed I went into the museum. This guard found the money and tracked me down to return it. I am overwhelmed by his kind action and it is my hope that he is rewarded for his integrity and honesty. People like him make this world a better place.

The museum contains the collection and history of the archeological UNESCO heritage site of Ban Chiang. This area could be problaby traced back to the neolithic age (around 10,000 years ago). The common settlement is around the bronze age (3000-300 BC).

Spent a good 2.5 hours here. Helpful staff. Worth every penny! Pictures are allowed but no videos. There is also a nice lake adjacent to the museum. The walkable excavation site nearby is also worth visiting. There is a very old peepal tree in the complex. The town has its own charm but I advise not going much in the interiors since wandering dogs attack and there is no proper sidewalk.

nice place. the story behind all that took place is pretty cool. lots of different people working together. it got a little warm on the second floor but they have probably fixed that problem by now.

Well maintained and well presented; all written information is in Thai and English with audio presentations in multiple languages. Highly recommended, simply a pleasant place to be.

Very clean place where they take you back in history and show you the many things that were found during excavations in the city. The finds have put the city on the World Heritage list. All information is displayed in Thai and in English. Audio to guide you through the museum is available in 6 different languages. The place is also accessible for wheel chairs.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it has beautiful pottery, it is air-conditioned & has nice toilets.

Very useful and knowledge for studies about Ban Chiang historic 3000years ago till 1800 years

I visited during the 3 day festival, stunning parades and fantastic concerts and food all around this beautiful little Thai town, it's a world heritage centre and well worth a visit

Pretty well-organized museum. Worth a visit!!! 150 baht fee entrance for foreigners and 30 baht fee for Thais.

Well preserved and documented in both Thai and English with plenty of ancient and historic objects to see and study. Mostly built and displayed in airconed buildings so very easy to spend time there with comfort. There're also local shops at opposite side and nearby selling similar artifacts and local goods.

This prehistoric history park surprised me with the astonishing balanced rock shelters and the well-preserved petroglyphs.

Amazing place. 2-3,000 year old spaces hollowed out under cap stones that end up balanced on small columns, some with original cave paintings from the time that there is no barrier to get up close to and examine. Wonderful. Something that would be impossible anywhere else. Parts of the site continued to be modified through to the 18th century with Buddhist additions. Lot of money has been spent on facilities and constructing and maintaining a path that takes about 2 hours to go around, and another lesser used circuit of 1.5 hours you can add on. There is also a good exhibition explaining the site at the start. Come early, for opening time if you can, to avoid the afternoon heat and the sun. It’s easiest to get to by car. It took us 1 hour from Udon Thani. Public transport isn’t straight forward from anywhere and doesn’t take you the final 5km that would need a tuk tuk. There are lots of steps cut into the rocks and some stairs. Not for wheelchairs at all.

Historical park which has unique stones and wat that was made of stones. Entrance fee is 20 baht per person. For disable and elder people, they can use electric cart for sight. Seeing.

everything is very well maintained, the toilets have paper and soap, the local restaurant is nice to sit and eat, not expensive, you get a map at the ticket sales 100 bath for tourists and 20 bath for Thai, if you get lost If you are touched, there are people from the park who will put you back on the right track. I will definitely go back there again

Great scenery with historic stone. Plenty of stag-horn fern (platycerium wallichii)

This place is a great place to spend your one morning or afternoon. Not only you enjoy the nature, you do a little hike/ walking while exploring our past. Most intriguing are the paintings on the rock. Must see for yourself, it is once a lifetime. These rocks tell a story of their own, the glamorous days or events held by the people at that time leaving marks on them citing the historical moments.

An interesting and different visit from what you can usually see in Thailand. The rocky formations are a little everywhere around in this nature and it's a good 2h walk. There are also very beautiful ancient paintings on the rocks, very nice. At one moment you get to a viewpoint, a great scenery of the valley and fields all around. It is about 60km from Udon Thani. A bit tricky to go by bus but if you're motorized it's good.

Loved it! Out in the forest. Not many people. You can do the small loop to main site in about 20 minutes return if you walk moderately fast. But allow an hour or 1.5 hours to really take in all the sites and enjoy the small loop. We went this afternoon and it was overcast and very enjoyable. And we spent an hour and 15 minutes walking around slowly and taking lots of photos. Luckily it was Not too hot. But if sunny, recommend going very early in day or late in day. If office is closed you can still walk around. Great clean toilets at far end of parking lot. Get a guide! Our guide was great. I understand Thai so it was really lovely to hear all the history. Do google it and read about the stories behind this amazing place! Great it isn’t too touristy yet. It was nice and peaceful.

Good Information Center Places are clean and found no garbage on the way. Suitable to come during winter Nice views

Great place to visit and you should definitely make the trip out if you have the time. My group was given a small tour which was very informative. I'm so happy that we met a guy that spoke english since I was the only one in my group that wasn't Thai. He did such an amazing job.

The Wat looks so majestic with the Naga lining the stairs. You can climb to the top that gives you a commanding view of the compound. There are 3 floors where you can enter the temple to pray. On the 3rd floor, the mural on the wall is beautiful. You will have removed your shoes to enter. After the temple visit, you can walk over to the Nong Prajak Park, which is across the road.

The Temple grounds cover a large area and include many attractive buildings, but the centre piece is the beautiful Pagoda. You can climb the steps of the Pagoda where there are galleries on two levels. It's worth going upto the 2nd level for the best view of the whole site. Plenty of space for parking and free to visit. I noticed that apart from buildings like the Ordination and Assembly Halls which unfortunately were closed for access, there is also a funary building complete with Crematoria.

Close to the city. Very famous temple and kept in the Thai Buddhist traditions. There are many famous monks who have stayed here. Beautiful Chedi that has 3 levels and statues of monks. The top level is for meditation. Not a tourist attraction but a real indication of what being a true monk and Buddhist is about. It is free and doesn't have people trying to sell you things free entry

Beautiful Thai temples Located in the middle of the city there's a few sights to see in this area. Not to mention the lake with large inflatable ducks. It's the normal standard beautiful Thai temples you see everywhere. Probably a good idea to go early because it gets so hot. A little tip is if you take the tram card city tour from Central plaza around Udon Thani it takes you here with a 20 min break. These tours depart 11:30am and 2:30 pm from memory.

Great place to visit nice and quiet You can go for a look and Enjoy the things on offer to See. Many painting you will like with lots of information on its History and Visitors.

Beautiful temple in the Udonthani center

You will forget you are in a major city of North Thailand. Really nice and peaceful. You can travel a short distance to prachak park where you can have a nice cooling walk in the evening.

One of the best temples in udonthani accross the road from my apartment. Well worth a visit more than once to take ever thing in
