Uthai Thani: Sacred River & Hidden Heritage
A quiet province most visitors never see: life on the Sakae Krang river, a temple hall of glass, old murals, a rural market and an ancient forest in a limestone valley.
Tour overview
Uthai Thani, about 3.5 hours north of Bangkok, keeps the slow rhythm of river towns. On day one you take a boat on the Sakae Krang river, visit Wat Tha Sung with its glittering glass hall, the murals of Wat Uposatharam and the hill temple Wat Sangkat Rattana Khiri. On day two you see Wat Phichai Puranaram, the craft market of Ban Rai and Hub Pa Tat, a hidden forest valley. One night in Uthai Thani with breakfast is included; other meals are free stops.
