If asked which season in Sakon Nakhon is the most worthwhile to visit, nature lovers would undoubtedly say the rainy season, as it is when abundance comes back to life.
To reinforce the value of traveling, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Nakhon Phanom Office, together with Man Gardens, invites you to invest your holiday time enjoying premium happiness found only at the Craft & Cuisine festival, "Taste of Time: Hoi Ros Hoi Wela." This festival will show you just how rewarding a trip to Sakon Nakhon in the rainy season can be.
The first value is a treat for your palate with rare flavors you can savor only once a year.
This initial reward offers a seasonal taste experience as the rains bring top-quality ingredients from Phu Phan to Nong Han Lake and deep forests, served on dining tables. These include wild mushrooms, bamboo shoots, rattans, local vegetables, herbs, mak mao fruits, native fruits, fish, salt, Sakon Nakhon beef, and local rice. All are creatively prepared by local chefs and communities into special menus, including drinks, coffee, and homemade ice cream, guaranteed fresh, delicious, and organic at prices more affordable than dining in upscale city restaurants.
Value your time... heal your soul with crafts and the charm of local wisdom.
In an era of rush, strolling and relaxing under the shade of lush green gardens is the best way to recharge. As a city renowned for crafts, Sakon Nakhon invites you to experience exquisite handmade works such as indigo-dyed fabrics, ceramics, woodwork, weaving, and knitting. There are also art and food workshops where you can participate hands-on, gaining new skills and experiences not found online, accompanied by music, performances, and panel discussions that inspire and energize life.
Maximum value because this event offers "free admission."
All these priceless mental benefits come with the best value for your wallet, as the event is free to enter. It’s the perfect weekend destination whether you’re on a date, making memories with family, or just relaxing solo.
