Smile @ Waterside

Khon Kaen is very beautiful. It has good hotels like AVANI, good restaurants like SMILE@WATERSIDE, and several unique temples. Let me tell you about them one by one. You may not know the brand AVANI, but its sister brand ANATARA is well-known. AVANI has not yet entered China. It is currently mainly in Southeast Asia and southern Africa. The quality is very good, and it pays special attention to the integration of relaxed comfort and modern design. This one in Khon Kaen should be the most cost-effective one. I especially like the atrium of the hotel in the photo. SMILE@WATERSIDE, as the name suggests, is a lakeside restaurant with a large area and exquisite design. It is very comfortable to sit down at a lakeside position at dusk. This restaurant takes an international route and has everything, whether Thai, Western or Chinese. Wat Phrathat Phra Aram Luang, at first glance, is a common Thai temple with a stacked red roof, white architecture and golden decorations, but the extended nine-story hall is completed in one go, magnificent, like a Roman temple, and like a huge accordion, with distinct layers, making it unforgettable at first sight. Of course, the most famous in Khon Kaen must be WAT NONG WAENG, which has a very appropriate Chinese name, the nine-story pagoda. This kind of temple has a very special shape, but it is very practical. The use areas are divided into the Sutra Pavilion, the museum, the statues of eminent monks, the relics of eminent monks and the collection of Buddhist scriptures (Buddhist scriptures written on palm leaves in ancient times), and the highest nine floors are dedicated to the relics of the Buddha's real body, which is in line with the Buddhist idea of ​​nine as the most respected. Along the square base of the nine-story pagoda, there is a circle of white fences. The golden Naga snake body is slender, different from the white belly of Sakon Nakhon. The Naga here is yellow ring and red belly, which is even more gorgeous and majestic. Climbing to the ninth floor of the pagoda is a unique experience. You can see the panoramic view of Khon Kaen and all the worldly things disappear when you hear the sound of wind chimes.
