in Phibun Mangsahan District (about 70 kilometers from the city
center) on Highway 217. Turn right at Kilometer 71 for about 500
meters. The area is a plain with a thicket on the hills surrounding
the reservoir. Guest houses are available for visitors. More

Bo Nam bun (Bun
Spring) is on Highway 217 about 700 meters from Sirindhom Dam.
It is similar to a hot spring in terms of its appearance, but the
water from this spring is of normal temperature and the water comes
up from the ground. It was discovered by a monk who was on a
pilgrimage, and so a religious center, called Wat Nam Bun, was
established.

end of Highway 217, which is 89 kilometers long. This highway will
be connected to a 38 kilometer road in Laos leading to Pak Sae,
