Things to do and see in Khon Kaen: In Khon Kaen itself, Wat Nong Wang temple is an absolute must-see, as is the lakefront (bicycles are available for rent). Aside from a few other temples and an interesting museum, there isn't much else to discover in Khon Kaen. However, the surrounding area offers numerous interesting destinations both near and far. The most famous is probably Phu Wiang National Park, 60 km from the city.

A must-see in Khon Kaen: Wat Nong Wang (วัดหนองว่าง). My rating: 5/5 stars! This temple is the landmark of Khon Kaen. If you haven't seen it, you haven't truly been to Khon Kaen! The nine-story building is located directly opposite the lake, and all of its balconies offer breathtaking views of the city.

Other places worth seeing in Khon Kaen: Bueng Khan Nakhon Lake (a 100-hectare lake) is perfect for walks and bike rides. Nearby are some of Khon Kaen's most interesting temples. Wat That: This small temple boasts a charming chedi, impressive both inside and out. It's located near Bueng Khan Nakhon Lake and is about a ten-minute walk from Wat Nong Wang. Wat Pho Non Than: This temple might interest visitors because of the unusual exterior walls of one of its buildings, which are decorated with plaster figures of animals and nature scenes.
