Amongst Thais the city is most known for its music and as a fabrication centre for northeastern handicrafts. This wat is home to the Northern Culture Museum which houses an interesting collection of literature and regional art including Buddha images and door panels. It is often locked but ask in the wat and they may open it up for you. The Teachers College is at the far eastern end of town along Si Sawat Damnoen Road, about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the centre of town. The pleasant setting makes this area quite popular with the locals.
Buses run from the bus station to the village.
Most of the production is large pots and bowls but some smaller pieces are available.
