Sakon Nakhon, Administrative province in Northeast Thailand.
The province extends across the Khorat Plateau near the Mekong River and contains Nong Han, the largest natural lake in Northeast Thailand.
The territory emerged as a settlement during the Khmer Empire in the 11th century before falling under the control of the Lan Xang Kingdom.
The Prasat Pueng Procession marks the end of Buddhist Lent with a wax castle creation, while Tha Rae celebrates Christmas Eve with a star parade.
Travelers reach Sakon Nakhon by flying to its regional airport or taking a bus from Udon Thani Railway Station, as no direct train service exists.
Local farmers produce Kho Khun Pon Yang Kham beef, which earned recognition as Thailand's equivalent to Japanese Kobe beef.
