The objective of this research was to study the wind characteristics in Nakhon Phanom Province of Thailand. Wind speed velocity and wind direction were recorded at height 60 m, 90 m above ground level, ground level is 163 m above sea level. They were recorded base on 10-min time interval recorded with 12 months from October 2018 to September 2019. The study found that the annual mean wind speed was 3.631 and 4.172 m/s and power density of 53, 77 W/m2 at 60 and 90 m above ground level respectively which wind direction generally contributes from northeast (NE) to southwest (SE).
