    Khon Kaen is one of the largest provinces and has a large economic base in the Northeastern region.
    There are large hospitals, both public and private. And there are famous universities in the country as well.

    Khon Kaen hosts one of the more open and innovative university in Thailand. Among its distinct alumni is the internationally best known Thai movie director - who sports several prestigious Cannes Film Festival awards in recent years. Interesting indeed. My best wishes of a productive stay in Khon Kaen, Paddy.

    Khon Kaen is my home town. You should go try grilled skinny chicken, crispy skin and moist in the inside. Everyone loves it. It’s a popular local dish near the dam. Wunna is a famous restaurant there which has an outlet in the city centre.

    I have been in Thailand 8 years (Bangkok 5 and Udonthani 3) and owned a Honda Wave 125 from new in that time.
    I generally only take the motorbike to a Honda dealer because they put genuine Honda parts and oil in and the cost is little if more than an independent.
    If you leave your old Honda Dream at the Honda delaer for 5 days, they would be able to get any new part and seal for that motorbike.

    If you have the old part that the guy replaced you can take it to a machine shop and they can reverse engineer it (take measurements) then machine you a replacement part. If you don't have the part a machine shop can still do a new part for you by taking measurements off your bike. As a mechanical Engineer that is how I would do it.

    Paddy so nice to see you begin to like isan, don't stay to long bc then it crawls under your skind and y never get it out again.
    I think kk is a nice place to stay its Capital in isan it have everything some good places to shop and eat, good place for massage, example near the high tower temple i wrote about, they have some good hospitals, a nice lake, and parks where its possible to exercise, kk have it all but i think i more like to stay little outside for example ban Kok, there was i think and irish man who rent out rooms out there, it was a nice little place, dos not knows if he stil is out there, and as y say they have the airport, so its easy to go quickly to example bkk or chiang Mai or wherever we want. Only sometimes at evening time it can be difficult to get a taxi out there, very near the airport there is a nice restaurant where people can eat true isanfood.
