Welcome to the Vibrant and Versatile City of Khon Khaen!

Located in its namesake province, the colourful city of Khon Kaen is an attractive tourist destination with so much to recommend it, whether you are interested in art, culture or ancient history.

Once a historic hub of silk production and now a thriving university town, Khon Kaen is also known for its many beautiful temples, such as the royal temple of Wat Phra Mahathat Kaen Makhon, also known as the 9-storey stupa. This regal structure features stunning carvings and exquisite murals, and when you ascend to the 9th storey you will find relics of Lord Buddha and be dazzled by breathtaking views of the city.

However Khon Kaen’s allure doesn’t just lie in its beautiful historic temples. Families visiting the city are sure to enjoy a trip to Phu Wiang Dinosaur Museum, where you can get up close and personal to these awe-inspiring prehistoric monsters and learn more about how they lived and how their bones were discovered millions of years later. Dino-mad kids are guaranteed to love this amazing attraction!

Another unmissable experience is a visit to Khon Kaen’s King Cobra Village, where all of the inhabitants – even the kids – interact with snakes on a daily basis, even ‘boxing’ with cobras to entertain and enthrall visitors.

Back in the city, there are plenty of other things to see and enjoy, from admiring colourful artworks in the city’s art galleries and shopping for beautiful souvenirs to take back for friends and family.

Khon Kaen also boasts a thriving nightlife, so why not end a fun-filled day of sightseeing with a tasty al fresco meal and some live music, the perfect end to a perfect day in this vibrant northern Thai city!

Loei, Thailand the Top Things To Do

Bordered by the mighty Mekhong River and mist-shrouded mountains, Loei has long been popular with Thai tourists, but still receives comparatively few international travelers. However, with all that the province has to offer, the secret may soon be out.

When visiting Loei, many people choose to head straight to Chiang Khan, famed for its laid-back charm and kitsch walking street. It is also a good base from which to explore nearby natural attractions, including un-spoilt national parks with their cool climates, lush pine forests and unique flora and fauna.


For those of you who don’t mind an early start, a visit to Phu Thok, which means isolated mountain, is a must-do whilst in Loei. Famed for its spectacular sunrises and ‘sea of fog’ views, this natural phenomenon is best viewed during winter months though good views are to be had all year-round. The area is also home to Wat Phu Thok; known locally as ‘stairways to heaven’, a popular spot for meditation in addition to offering striking views over the surrounding countryside.


For three days of the year the sleepy town of Dan Sai plays host to one of the most colourful and some would say spookiest festivals of its kind; Phi Ta Khon, or the ‘Ghost’ festival. Accompanied by raucous music and dancing, young men dressed as ghosts wearing huge colorful masks parade through the streets to worship spirits and ask for plentiful rain for the year ahead.  


The annual event takes place between March and July, the exact dates being determined by the town’s spiritual mediums. If you can’t make the festival but are still interested in learning more, pay a visit to the Dansai Folk Museum, which provides information on the origins and significance of the Phi Ta Khon festival. At weekends you can also see demonstrations of how the festival masks are made.


With its unique climate, cultures and traditions, stunning natural attractions and colouful festivals, Loei is a province just waiting to be explored and is an up and coming ecotourism destination not to be missed, so come along and explore the wisdom of the mountains for yourself.

Khok Pia Village Homestay tour - Khon Kaen, Thailand

This tour lets you experience life in a typical Isan village out in the countryside near Khon Kaen city. You'll find complete details at

The Khok Pia Village Homestay tour is a fully authentic experience with no concessions made for tourists other than having Nina, an English-speaking resident of the village, spend the day with you. Ban Khok Pia is a typical rural Isan village about 20 kilometers (13 miles) outside Khon Kaen city. Most of its 180 residents live in wooden houses, grow rice in the rainy season, and supplement their income the rest of the year by growing vegetables and sugar cane or taking seasonal work outside the village. In many ways things haven't changed much in the past 20-plus years: life generally remains slow, simple, and interconnected and it's not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows everyone in the village. During your visit you will eat and sleep with a local family and spend your time meeting locals and seeing typical activities throughout the village. This tour is also available as a daytrip.

Khon Kaen Temples

Khon Kaen is a new town in an ancient land. Unlike many other Thai towns, Isaan’s capital was only found a little over 200 years ago. But hundreds of years before that, the ancient Khmer Empire expanded its presence here. They left behind many beautiful temples behind that are now tourist attractions today. Some are beautiful and some are a little weird. Let me take you to a few of the most interesting.


Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon is located in Wat Nong Waeng, a royal temple on Klang Mueang Road. Otherwise known as the 9-storey stupa, Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon is home to Buddhist relics and other important scriptures. The doors and windows are beautifully carved, depicting the life and reincarnations of Lord Buddha and Brahmin deities. The murals within the stupa tell historical stories about Khon Kaen. The top floor is where there are Buddhist relics. It’s perfect for a panorama view of all of Khon Kaen.

I’m here now at Phrathat Kham Khaen, another famous temple in town. Phrathat Kham Khaen translates to “Great stupa of tamarind heartwood” in English. There are relics of Lord Buddha here, that’s why it’s an important place of worship for the locals. In fact, the town of Khon Kaen gets its name from the temple’s beautiful stupa.

Last but not least, there is Wat Thung Setthi. This temple went through a stunning restoration a few years ago. What makes this temple unique are the etchings into glass windows. Not only Hindu deities like Shiva and Indra here in the stain-glassed windows of the dome, but also fictional pop culture characters too. Take a look into the glass etchings, and you’ll see Lilo and Stitch, Mickey Mouse, Doraemon and even Darth Vader. It’s also known for its garden depicting Buddhist hell. According to legend, this is where Buddhists go when they have bad karma.

As you can see, a trip to Khon Kaen is a wonderful chance to see Thai temples. It’s very easy to get to Isaan’s capital from Bangkok. Thai Smile offers three flights a day to and from Khon Kaen from Bangkok’s Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
