Khon Kaen North East Thailand ขอนแก่น

Khon Kaen

Khon Kaen is located about 450km from Bangkok, mid-way between Udorn Thani and Nakhorn Ratchasima. The town itself is not particularly interesting, but some of the surrounding countryside is quite scenic.

Getting There

Air-conditioned buses leave Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal at regular intervals throughout the day for the 6 hour journey to Khon Kaen. There are also regular bus services from Phitsanuloke and Nakhorn Ratchasima (Khorat).
Trains depart from Hua Lampong Station in Bangkok several times per day, and take about 8 hours to reach Khon Kaen.
Thai International have flights from Bangkok to Khon Kaen.

Getting around

Songthaews are the best means of getting around the town. Your hotel may be able to arrange a car and driver for longer trips.

North East Thailand

North East Thailand Map The pace of life in the north-eastern region of Thailand, known as Isaan, is generally more relaxed than in other areas, and the people often appear more friendly. Isaan food is famous for its variety of ingredients and pungency. Particular favourites are som tam (a spicy papaya salad) and gai yang (roasted spiced chicken).
The gateway to whole area is through Nakorn Ratchasima, often refered to as Korat
There is a distinct Laos and Khmer influence in the region which is reflected in the local dialect, and the Angkor Wat like monuments near Surin and Buri Ram. That Phanom on the Laos border has a particularly fine example of this style of architecture.
There are archeological sites a little north of Korat, that show the earliest settlers of the region where here some 4000 years ago.
North of Udon Thani is Ban Phu which offers prehistoric cave drawings. To the east lies Ban Chiang with its ancient ceramic and bronze sculptures.
The best silk in Thailand is said to come from the areas around Roi Et and Nakhorn Ratchasima (Korat). This is certainly the place to visit for bargains or an insight into silk weaving techniques. Nong Khai in the northern part of the region is the only place where visitors can cross the Maekhong river to Vientiane in Laos. Further west is Loei which is one of Thailand's most unspoiled provinces.
