Day by day
Day 1 Ubon Ratchathani - Phra That Nong Bua - Khua Noi Ban Chi Thuan - Wat Si Nuan Saeng Sawang Arom - Amnat Charoen - Phra Mongkhon Ming Mueang - Phana District
Pick up at your designated meeting point, train station, or airport. Enjoy breakfast at Samchai restaurant. After breakfast, visit the sacred Wat Phra That Nong Bua. Depart for Khua Noi, the Bridge of Faith at Ban Chi Thuan. Khua Noi, or the wooden bridge, stretches across endless rice paddies as far as the eye can see. It was built for monks to walk across for morning alms and serves as a walkway connecting Ban Chi Thuan and Ban Nong Khaen.
Ban Chi Thuan was originally a Khmer settlement known as Nakhon Lamduan. Later, Nakhon Lamduan became deserted. Phra Pathumwongsa, the ruler of Ubon, instructed Thao Hgonkham along with 150 households to travel up the Chi River to establish a new settlement. Arriving at Nakhon Lamduan, they found ruins guarded by a Khmer chief. Thao Hgonkham inquired and learned it was an ancient town; the Khmer invited Thao Hgonkham to establish a town here in B.E. 2324. The founding pillar was erected auspiciously, and the town was named See Suan, reflecting the local ecology where the Chi River flows backward, which later evolved into Chi Thuan today. Admire the Singha pulpit (Thammasat Singha) featuring Vietnamese artistry and the Hor Chaek (multi-purpose sermon hall) at Wat Si Nuan Saeng Sawang Arom in Ban Chi Thuan. Enjoy lunch. After lunch, travel to Amnat Charoen Province, a distance of approximately 78 km. Upon arrival in Amnat Charoen, pay respects to Phra Mongkhon Ming Mueang for good fortune. Then check in at Faikhid Hotel and relax at your leisure. Depart for Phana District, a distance of approximately 44 km. Upon arrival in Phana District, pay respects to Phra Chao Yai Chaiyarit at Luang Pho Samret Park for auspicious blessings. Join the procession of Phra Bang, a Buddha statue in the posture of calming the ocean, measuring 2 sok 7 inches (approx. 1.14 meters) tall, cast in bronze dating from the late 18th to early 19th Buddhist century in late Khmer Bayon style. Its Buddhist characteristics feature a standing posture with raised hands, fingers of equal length, a relatively square face, broad forehead, bow-shaped eyebrows, slender eyes, relatively flat nose and mouth, smooth head and ushnisha designed for royal regalia, a slender torso, prominent hips, and robes covering the body revealing folds of the lower garment.
