      AGAIN with Khon Kaen? Whitest City in Isaan. I am an American living in a village in Maha Sarakham Province. First and only white guy here. No English, Everybody speaks Lao. I have an 11 rai organic farm here. I have a simple cottage for guests with electricity, toilet, fan, shower. Wanna go native? Comp you the cottage and take you on a market tour

      @@samanfarm5310 Sounds nice! We're not in Isan anymore, but otherwise we would have paid a visit 😁 We also really like Khon Kaen though and it's also a good starting point for exploring Isan.

    2:02 On the left hand side, you can see the buildings that are under construction in the future. When completed, there will be the tallest Skybar in the Northeast and there is also a glass bridge on the top of the building. It will open around June. Don't forget to visit.

    You guys should visit Khao Suan Kwang zoo (Khao Suan Kwang District, Khon Kaen) and Khao Suan Kwang is also well known for grilled chicken. My favorite grilled chicken restaurant in Khao Suan Kwang is next to Government Savings Bank at the intersection to the zoo.

    A little bit of history about Isan:
    The Thai province of Isan used to part of the kingdom of Laos, there are more ethnic Laotian living in Isan (22 millions) than in Laos itself (8 millions), that's a sizable fraction of the total Thai population of 72 millions. French colonial power, having occupied Indochina in the 19th century, has arbitrarily redrawn national boundaries in agreement with Thai authorities at the time giving Thailand rule over the Isan province that used to belongs to Laos. But border dispute still arises between the two countries which came to blows in 1987.
    According to French map, the village of Ban Romklao near Phitsanulok belongs to Laos but the Thai used an American map which shows the village is within their territory, so they occupied the village but were driven out by a Laotian counter strike. Anybody's been there to check that out?
