The Khon Kaen National Museum is situated 30 kilometres away in Khon Kaen. This wonderful attraction is certainly worth the journey.

Feel like going to Nongprajak Public Park, the Krom Luang Prachaksinlapakhom Monument and the Udon Thani Rajabhat University? Make your way to Udon Thani, 75 kilometres to the north, and set up base. These attractions, along with UD Town and the Wat Phonthissomporn, are all close at hand.
Whether you prefer the thrill of Michelin stars or chowing down on a snack from a street cart, tasting the local food and drink is perhaps the best thing about travel. So why not tingle your taste buds by digging into some of the region's delicious offerings?
Once you settle in and browse a menu at a café or restaurant, you'll realise that dill and sticky rice are a couple of ingredients popular in the local cuisine.
Ask one of the locals what they recommend eating and tom saep (hot and sour meat soup) will probably be the first thing they mention. Koi pla (spicy raw fish salad) is another typical regional food you might like to try.
Take advantage of your flight time by learning some expressions in Thai. You'll be glad you learnt 'Raa-dtree sà-wàt', which translates to 'good night'. 'Sà-wàt-dee', which means 'hello', is also quite common.
Pencil the 5th of December in your calendar. To the locals, this means one thing — Birthday of King Phumiphon. A prominent day of festivities, this is a wonderful time of year to travel to the country.
When your holiday is over and it's time to say "Læ̂w phb kạn h̄ım̀" to Nam Phong, don't be sad — it will always welcome you back!
