Located about 500km away from Bangkok, Khon Kaen is a part of Thailand’s northeast region and has seen rapid growth in the past few years.
Being the educational centre of the vicinity, Khon Kaen is a traveller’s base if they want to visit the places around it. Finding a hotel in Khon Kaen is an easy job as they have everything from budget hotels to luxury and business hotels like AVANI Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre.
In comparison to the ancient towns in Thailand, Khon Kaen is relatively new as it was founded just two centuries ago. Research and archaeological digs in and around town have revealed that though Khon Kaen didn’t start functioning as a town until recently; the artefacts prove that Khon Kaen has a rich history in ancient civilisation, especially when it comes to endemic dinosaurs.
Over the years, people of various cultures have settled in the area and in the early 12th century, the Khmer Empire expanded its ruling and took over Khon Kaen too. The current traditions and norms of Khon Kaen have been carved by people over the centuries and is a surely delightful place to visit when in Thailand, especially if you get to see the silk festival, Full moon festivals and more.
