Manida will bring you for free and pick you up as well. Entrence fee not included.
- Patunaam covered market: everything you want to buy in four enormous halls with fans and airco. Great to buy clothes for yourself and gifts for friends! Very near the Dino water park so easy to combine! Included in programme.
- Outside Khon Kaen 10 km on the road to Udon Thani is a lovely Buddhist pilgrimage park called Wat Samlaan. Because of the many big bamboos, trees and waterfalls it is nicely cool. It is big: many acres of trees, statues, gardens and lakes. Afterwards you can relax in the shady restaurant. A great place to spend 3 or 4 hours wondering around in awe of Buddhist symbolism. Included in programme.
