animals and water birds. One part of the park is protruding into
the pond which is the front part of the park. It makes the
surrounding nice and graceful. In the middle of the pond is “Sra
Pang Thong”. It has a legend that this was the pond the
villagers dug with
Phra Tad Cheng Chum, which is the
important religious place of Sakon Nakhon province. The pond has
a history dated back to BE 16. It was where the gods clean their
bodies before they paid respect to Phra That. Therefore, people
believe the pond is a holy place. The government sector and
people have used the water from this pond in many ceremonies. In
the middle of the pond, there is the tallest fountain in
Thailand.
Since the park is near Nhong Harn pond with Sra
Pang Thong in the middle and many big trees throughout the park,
the park is very serene. According to \ landscape design, many
trees were plant in order to provide shadows while ornamental
plants were planted to provide nice atmosphere. There are forest
park, water park, stone park, route for walking and running
around the park. In winter, Princess Srinakarin park is very
beautiful since it will be covered by the thin fog. The
