Wat Pah Nanachat and Wat Nong Pa Phong are working temples located outside the city itself and are popular places for study and meditation.
The fourth, and more recently constructed temple, which attracts lots of visitors is Wat Sirindhorn Wararam. Wat Sirindhorn Wararam is an architecturally beautiful hill top temple, which is illuminated at night and located 92 km by road from Ubon Ratchathani.
