Khon Kaen, Administrative province in northeastern Thailand
The province of Khon Kaen extends across 10,659 square kilometers of land in central northeastern Thailand, bordered by nine other Thai provinces.
The first settlement of Khon Kaen was established in 1783 when Rajakruluang and 330 people founded a community that relocated several times until 1879.
Khon Kaen province maintains strong silk production traditions, particularly in Chonnabot district where artisans create Mudmee Silk using specialized tie-dye techniques.
The province contains 26 administrative districts with Khon Kaen city serving as the capital, hosting government offices, universities, and international consulates.
Four national parks within the province protect diverse forest ecosystems, including Phu Wiang National Park where researchers discovered multiple dinosaur fossils.
