KHON KAEN : The Land of Phuwiangosaurus Sirindhornae Dinosaur
Historically, Khon Kaen is considered a new town, established a little over two centuries ago. But, prehistorically, this town on the plateau had various natural phenomenon and cultures. The dinosaur has been the provincial symbol ever since remains of these great beasts were unearthed in Phu Wiang National Park, an area also famous for its flora, fauna and waterfalls.

Khon Kaen International Marathon
Date : 31 January 2010
Venue : Khon Kaen university
Running 42 km for fun, or perhaps a faster time, can be a mite easier if it is on a scenic route past a city’s key attractions. It breaks the boredom and allows serious marathoners to notch up another course on a list of “been there, run those cities.”
Now in its sixth year the Khon Kaen International Marathon, held 31 January at the town’s university, commands respect from runners looking for a well organised event and an opportunity to establish a personal best; the holy grail for marathoners.
