A major city of Isan, Thailand, Khon Kaen is the ideal destination to explore and here are some of its main attractions to add to your itinerary.
Dino Water Park
Fun family time awaits at Dino Water Park easily accessible from properties like the SHA+ certified Avani Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre. This dinosaur-themed attraction features all manner of slides and other allures; the wave pool and lazy river are ideal for all ages, while thrill-seekers will love the exhilarating experiences of Magicone, Space Hole and Windigo.
Wat Nong Wang
For those based at a centrally located hotel, Khon Kaen sightseeing tours should include Wat Nong Wang, an awe-inspiring Buddhist temple. This exquisite stupa features nine storeys and apart from photographing its striking exterior, head inside to enjoy Buddha images, murals and lovely views from the observation deck on the top floor.
Bueng Kaen Nakhon
The above temple is near Bueng Kaen Nakhon, a lake that is amongst the other popular attractions in Khon Kaen. This scenic spot with its lush parks provides a great place to unwind or have a picnic with the whole family; those looking for some active pursuits can enjoy cycling, pedal-boating or fishing here as well.
King Cobra Village
For something different, head to Ban Khok Sanga or King Cobra Village, around 30 km from the city. True to its name, this is a place you can encounter king cobras and more slithering serpents bred in captivity! You will get a chance to hold certain snakes and not to be missed is the show with both human and serpent performers.
