What is it?
Beyond stylish rooms and relaxing amenities, Avani Khon Kaen now gives guests a reason to venture beyond the hotel with local tours that let them explore regional culture, try hands-on traditional crafts, embark on outdoor adventures and witness natural spectacles.
Why we love it?
The Northeast isn't usually top of the list for a quick getaway, but the hotel makes it a destination worth exploring. History buffs will love the history and culture package, where you spend a half day wandering through Ban Sawathi, discovering the legendary tales of folk hero Sinsai, admiring Hup Taem murals at Wat Chai Si and trying your hand at making traditional Isaan rice crackers. For thrill-seekers, the adventurer package offers a full-day escape to Phu Pha Man, where you can kayak along serene waters, marvel at the emerald-blue Blue Lagoon and step back in time at the Phu Wiang Dinosaur Museum, home to Thailand’s first dinosaur fossils. The day ends at Tham Khang Kho Bat Cave, where millions of bats take flight at dusk.
Time Out tip:
All that exploring works up an appetite. Fortunately, the history and culture package includes ‘Pa Suay Sinsai’, a curated local lunch featuring traditional dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.
