Get in

The nearest airport is in Ubon Ratchathani. The main northeast train line passes through Si Saket, and there are many buses to destinations through Isaan and even Bangkok (7 hours).

Get around

See

  • Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew, more commonly known as Wat Lan Khuad ("Temple of a Million Bottles"), is a bizarre yet entirely serious Buddhist temple complex constructed entirely out of glass bottles. Even the pictures on the walls are assembled from bottle caps. The temple is some 61 km south of Si Saket and a worthwhile detour if visiting Preah Vihear with your own transport.
