AMNAT CHAROEN

Split from Ubon Ratchathani in 1993, Amnat Charoen is a tranquil province known as the ''Land of Dharma'' As such, temples are its main attractions. Just outside town, Phra Mongkhon Ming Muang is a sanctuary with a giant Buddha set amidst the scenic Buddha Uttayan park.

Wat Chaiyatikaramit houses a bronze Buddha fashioned in the Vientiane style. Wat Tham Saeng Phetch is a spacious meditation temple of the late Phra Acham Cha, housing a Buddha image inside a cave.
