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.

This is a fantastic museum for history buffs like yours truly and one of the key motivators for my recent trip to beautiful Khon Kaen, in the Esarn region of Thailand. Modern history as well as the prehistoric, proudly on display here. I was also privileged to get a personal tour from a couple of lovely local volunteer guides. If you are in Khon Kaen, suggest you take the opportunity to learn more about the area, with a worthwhile visit (see my YouTube) to museum.

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.
