One of the first activities not to be missed during a visit to Khon Khaen is observing the different stages of the mut-me silk process. There is even a traditional village in the province specifically focused on the thousand-year-old art of silk production. There, travelers will discover old wooden houses inhabited by several families who perpetuate the tradition of silk spinning. A silk museum will also allow them to learn more about the history of this form of craft.

For paleontology enthusiasts, Khon Haen is the ideal destination. Indeed, the province is also famous for dinosaurs because researchers have found traces of still unknown species in the mountains of Phu Wiang. Thus, tourists can go back in time by visiting the park, and for the history part, there is nothing better than the dinosaur museum.

It is highly recommended that holidaymakers discover the various temples and monuments in Khon Kaen. There is Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon, which is a temple that houses the relics of the Buddha and collects Buddhist scriptures. The Phrathat Kham Kaen is another sacred area today, home to relics and images of Buddha. A tribute and celebration festival occurs every year on the full moon day of the 6th lunar month. Then, the stupa named Maha Rattana Chedi Si Tri Lokkathat is another must-see. Visitors will marvel at this construction, which mixes contemporary and Isan folk art. Also, they will be able to let themselves be transported by the history of this place, which is very focused on cosmology.

Phu Pha Man National Park is another important attraction in Khon Kaen. It is a limestone mountain range with a cliff that gives the impression of being in front of a giant curtain. Adventurers can also venture into the forest, which is full of evergreen and mixed forests that help maintain a calm atmosphere almost all year round. It is a beautiful spot to experience all the beauty and magic this province offers. ◄
