Great place to get a fantastic range of Thai food at cheap prices. Where the Thais go so is fresh and at decent prices. Numerous places have music or bands playing, saw a great group performing. If desperate can have KFC and do some shopping. My wife got a number of clothing items from 100 - 150 baht 5 - 7 AUD

I had a life time experience with practicing mindfulness with the monk Lon Pi koh and the Nun mashi Joy. Simply worth every minute I spent with them. The temple is a huge place with theme park. To live there was a bit tough but very enriching.

Located 9kms east of Khon Kaen I took a taxi which was around 140 baht each way. Very well planned out. Beautiful features throughout. Well worth a visit.

Central Plaza Khon Kaen is one of the most comfortable shopping complexes, that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Shoppers here can enjoy; wide walkways, ambient music, a massive volume and variety of retail offerings, dotted across a multiplicity of themed levels (including games arcade and cinemas on top floor), serviced by a plethora of escalators (see my YouTube)... A rare combination (in my experience), of a big shopping centre, that maintains a relaxed vibe.

It was the middle of a hot Thursday in Khon Kaen and the effect of breeze off the water at Bueng Kaen Nakon, was soothingly timely, indeed. There is a bit to check out here; both inside (there are monuments, gardens, even a library ('Dork Koon' - worth checking out ...) plus some dinosaurs ...) and alongside (shops, accommodation, cafes, museums, etc) this big park. A good work-out can be had (including with basic, freely accessible gym equipment) and measured (with metre markers on sections of the path) here. An enjoyable to place to spend some time (see my YouTube) be it; sightseeing, exercising and or just chilling.

We visited on a Monday and when we got there the whole park wasn’t open. The main children’s bit & main pool with wave machine was. As we was there for my 3 year old son, this was more than ok. We went on all the rides and they are more than suitable for adults let alone kids! It was only 200baht per adult and as my son is shorter than 90cm he was free. The amount they had there including the rides that were closed, is on par with water parks I’ve visited in Florida, for a fraction of the price. As it was a weekday, there was no more than 10 people in the park, 4 of those adults were us! It was brilliant, no queues. Weather was gorgeous, everyone was friendly and my son was loving the attention. There is plenty of food and drink available, which is payable by a charge card. The whole park has a dinosaur theme. At the front of the park there is lots of picture opportunity’s with huge, life size? Dinosaurs. In the main pool, there is a man made beach area, on the other side of the pool there is a stage, where I’m told live bands play at the weekends. Overall I thought this park was brilliant value for money, with great rides, we will definitely be back when we come back.
