With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Khon Kaen, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Central Plaza Khon Kaen, Bueng Kaen Nakhon Public Park and Khon Kaen University. Roi Et is another popular option. It’s 45 miles away and home to a range of intriguing things to see and do. Bueng Plan Chai Park, Wat Burapha Phiram and Roi Et Golf Club are just the start.
