Gentle winter breezes welcome early risers as a row of motorboats navigate through a spiral course of waterways on the 25,500 rai Nong Han Lake, which is shrouded in a sea of mist. When the sky becomes orange and the Sun shines brightly, a magnificent scene of buoyant pink water lilies that spread as far as the eye can see takes our breath away.
Commonly known as Thale Bua Daeng (Sea of Red Lotus), this marsh has long been a favourite destination for tourists who wish to take in the natural splendour of Udon Thani. Nestled in Kumphawapi district, the Community Enterprise of Fishing Boat and Tourist Boat Owners at Thale Bua Daeng offers a programme of 90-minute cruises by a fleet of 120 tour boats in two sizes.
