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.

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.
