Khon Kaen Province

The province containing the main city of Thailand's northeastern Isan region, known for dinosaur fossils, silk crafts and Isan food.

Khon Kaen Province lies in the middle of Thailand's northeastern Isan region. The provincial town of Khon Kaen is the northeast's education, commercial and transport center, and Khon Kaen University is based here. Phu Wiang National Park has yielded several types of dinosaur fossils; the Chonnabot area is known for traditional silk weaving; and in the city, the nine-story Wat Nong Wang (Phra Maha Chedi Chaimongkol) offers views from the top. It is also a great place to try authentic Isan dishes such as grilled meats and green papaya salad. The cool season (November to February) is the best time to visit. Khon Kaen Airport has flights to and from Bangkok, and the northeastern railway line also passes through.
