While the area is undeniably beautiful, it may not have the 'wow' factor for those who have seen many temples and shrines around Thailand. It may not stand out as unique or memorable compared to other sites, but it still holds its own charm and appeal.

The journey to the area can be an experience in itself. One can take a tuk tuk from a nearby hotel, which includes a short wait while exploring the area, and a quick drive by the nearby Lake area. Even if the price is a bit over the local rate, the experience is enjoyable and worthwhile. The shrines and Wats can be uplifting in small doses, making the trip a pleasant morning activity before the heat sets in.

The area offers a nice open space, perfect for strolling around the shrines and temples. It's a peaceful place in the midst of the bustling city of Udon Thani.

The shrine is a must-visit spot when coming to Udon Thani. It's right in the middle of the city center, surrounded by government offices, universities, and schools. There are several places in the area that are worth visiting. Like many cities in Thailand, the temple is located in a central point of the city, close to markets and on the way to the Prajak (or Prachak) Lake. It's also close to a large market with many amenities for kids and numerous places to eat. From the shrine, one can enjoy a view of the city. It's advisable to bring something to cover your hair, like a hat or a scarf, as the sun can be very hot and there is no roof protection along the way.
