Khon Kaen Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Our return journey to Thailand began in a state of exhaustion due to our all-nighter pulled in the Singapore airport. However, I did have time to research the cheapest and quickest route to Maha Sarakham in the Isaan province of Thailand. We came to visit our friends Scott and Valerie Payne and their family. They are Southern Baptist missionarie...

grrrr, after 2,5 hours in the bus arrived in Khon Kaen, just an overnight stop before heading to Phitsanulok and Sukhothai (6hours bus ride :/). Khon Kaen is a big city with nothing really good to see or do. It's hot and the GH I'm staying is ******. Anything else?

Not feeling like hanging around the house today despite having some things to do for my last week teaching I tagged along to take Poope, Popeye and Jojo back u...
