Local natural place in Sung Noen District. It doesn't look like waterfall to me, small water. We were there in rainy, not many visitors, just local kids hangout... Anyway it's a nice little trip for us.

Dragon Coffee and Scrap Metal Art
This place is on the Highway Between Nakhon Ratchasima and Bangkok in the area of Sung Noen District. We once made a stop for coffee and took a tour to see those metal statues, each of them is very outstanding and unique. Almost forgot to mention, the coffee is great too.

Historical Site in Sung Noen District
Sung Noen is only 35 kms from Korat City. It's worth a day trip from Korat City even you are not into history, go and get some fresh air and enjoy nice country-side.
Sung Noen is a hidden place, there is some small historical sites influenced by Khmer culture, scattered throughout the district, particularly in Tumbon Sema and Tumbon Korat.
We have been first to Tumbon Sema, the historical sites are in the area of Wat Thammachak Semaram Temple. IT's about 4 kms from central of Sung Noen.
Wat Thammachak Semaram Temple
Nearby the temple, we went into the House of The Large Reclining Sandstone Buddha image. Picture above shows the entrance.

The Large Reclining Sandstone Buddha image or local call Phra Non, it’s the most ancient and largest a Reclining Buddha image that made from red sand stone.
The image was built around 1200 B.E. The length of the Buddha is approximately 13.30 metres. The image is located in Thammachak Semaram Temple, part of Muang Sema Historical Site.
