“Dolphins, Dolphins, Dolphins!!!” his dad is still exciting, while carry the boy in his arms and take him to see the dolphins for that the boy can talk big at his school day….”

This is a little part of impression that always see on “Had Tongyang”(Tongyang Beach), the one beautiful place of Mookao PlyDum (a group of Mountain,Plydum),where is Nakornsrithammarat proud to present.

Kao Plydum, this strange name has been origin from the appearance of the mountain which similar to the Elephant, or else some people told that it comes form the name of the herb on the mountain,“Pridum”,which can cure many disease and only found at this mountain in former times.

However, we don”t clearly know the origin of the mountain”s name, the physical features of the mountain which has 3 long continuous range, Plydum Mountain, Kland Mountain, Laung Mountain, by the jiont of Kanom and Sichon district, create a very rich forest and many impression place. So, it”s proudly called “The south sea dragon “

Many tourists who point their distance to Kao Plydum always have the same question ” Could we be lucky to see the dolphins?”, because the one great destination of Nakornsrithammarat is “Wang Loma”(Dolphin Palace). Wang Loma is located on the north of Ao Tongyang, near the height mountain and full with group of stone along the beach.

This is a great gift for you if you visit “Kao plydum”

Ubon Ratchathani has been a well established community for hundreds of years. Relatively unknown to the most tourists, the province boasts a number of natural wonders, cultural and historical attractions, national parks, silk producing shops, etc.

The province is renowned for its strong Buddhist tradition, particularly the practice of forest-dwelling monks and the ancient Buddhist temples, which can still be seen throughout the province today.

A gateway to Laos, Ubon Ratchathani is bordered to the east by the Mekong River and Laos, to the south by Cambodia, to the west by Yasothon and Sisaket Provinces and to the north by Amnat Charoen Province. The provincial capital is approximately 630 kilometers northeast of Bangkok.

The province is unique in its folk culture, which is expressed in the indigenous cuisine, handicrafts, such as silk and cotton products, basketry, and bronze-ware, and traditional events such as the Candle festival held every July. There are natural beauties and historical sites including the 4,000 years old rock formation, prehistoric rock paintings, national parks, waterfalls, and the two-colored river, etc.

Songkon Village, Songkon Tambon, Phosai District, a little community beside Khong river on the very east of Thailand. This is a place that Khong river crash the Poopan Mountain, created a strange-look topography like Grand Canyon in USA. You can see this topography cleary by the end of year, because the tide is low in that season.

Had Salueng, a long powdered beach, one great place for visitor. In Songkran Festival, Had Salueng always be fulled with visitors because Songkon people has celebrate the Songkran (Thai New Year) for 7 days 7 nights on Had Salueng.

If you visit Had Salueng and want to appreciate the fresh nature for long time you can stay overnight at Songkon Resort, a little report beside Khong river , where you can taste a fresh fish of Khong river. Moreover, you can see the traditional living of the north-east people of Thailand, like fish catching with and ancient instrument, traditional architectural structure of house and old culture of Thai people.

And the last, you can see these cute pictures on the white beach, Had Salueng, too
