The Ban Na Kha market is located 16 kilometers from Udon Thani, along the edge of Highway 2. Also known as the Silk Market, it consists mainly of shops selling silk and cotton clothing. Particularly famous is the "Mi-Khit" style clothing, whose geometric patterns are typical of Isan (the northeastern region of Thailand). Stroll from boutique to boutique and discover both traditional and modern clothing. Tailors can be found in the side streets. The fabrics are produced nine kilometers away in the small village of Ban Na Kham Luang, where almost every house has a loom. The village is largely untouched by tourism, and English is rarely spoken there. However, if you are curious, you are welcome to visit. Usually, after a friendly smile, you will be invited to watch the weavers at work. They sell their fabric to the tailors of Ban Na Kha for 40 baht per meter, who weave four to six meters a day, depending on their skill.

To get there from Udon Thani, you can take a songthaew (shared taxis used as local buses) from Udon Thani to Na Kha from in front of Rajabhat University or Rangsina Market.
