Illuminating Khon Kaen

The Khon Kaen Kaleidoscope installation draws inspiration from Isan culture.

Thanks to the network of roads connecting the city's transit system, the illustrious neighbourhood of Srichan has remained Khon Kaen's vibrant commercial district and entertainment hub serving mouth-watering street food destination for more than five decades. It is linked with Na Muang and Klang Muang roads, home to the historical Khon Kaen Rama cinema, Bank of Thailand, 66-year-old Mui Chin cafe and a 60-year-old Chinese medical store.

Through this Sunday, the neighbourhoods are illuminated at night with vibrant art installations and multimedia artworks to highlight the area's history and Isan culture, while the iconic "Awakening" light festival broadens its creative horizon from Bangkok to Khon Kaen before heading to Chiang Mai this winter.
