Bangkok Travelbug February 2012 Khon Kaen National Museum ? the Issarn heritage
30 January 12
This month we start our exploration of the north-eastern region of Thailand or Issarn as it is locally called. There is no better place to have an overview of Issarn history and culture than the Khon Kaen National Museum in Khon Kaen city.
This museum doesn?t just cover the history of Khon Kaen but the entire north-eastern region dating back several thousand years. For this reason, I chose Khon Kaen National Museum as my first stop in my visit to the province that is in the heart of Issarn.

There is evidence of civilisations in Issarn dating back 5,000 years in the Bronze Age. There are also a few other surprises.
