Adventures in Khon Kaen Thailand Part 1

Hello friends welcome back to our Blog. Last March while visiting Khon Kaen notice in the down town part of this magnificent city that the sidewalks have been redone and improved for wheel chairs and the visibly  blind. While admiring the workmanship I seen this with a shock on my face!

The day was not wasted when I couldn't understand why we keep seeing all these people dressed in black, white and yellow. There faces done up beautifully and all gathering on the main street. It wasn't hundreds but thousands of woman, girls and some boys. Was to honor the passing King  Bhumibol Adulyadej. Everyone danced in unison was so cool to see. I hope to have a video up soon of this event.
Was well worth the visit.

Building a Home & Resort in Thailand

Hello my friends, John here and back from Thailand on another trip but will soon be back. Take a look at my YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/c/ahartinthai and become a subscriber for more adventures in Thailand.

I will feature a couple of videos and photos on what adventures we are up too.

So we started to build this home and resort in Thailand which is situated West of Khon Kaen
near Nong Ruea

All I can go on is putting in these 9 posts and build from there. No drawings, plans or directions.
Many white hats and bosses with language barriers but slowly and quickly its coming together.
So much happened within the first few days I was amazed by the progress. After the second day we arrived a ceremony was done and the buildings started. After a couple weeks the walls on the lower level were placed and all windows installed. New security doors for visitors center aka open room to the resort. We will have two guest rooms on lower level and plan for a few cottages that surround the lake that was previously dug. Electricity and well water is already onsite.

  A few photos of what has been built to date:

A Review of the Kosa Hotel and the Pullman Hotel in Khon Kaen

A Review of some of the Hotels we stayed at in Thailand 

A few of our trips back home in Khon Kaen Thailand we like to stay mostly at the Kosa Hotel which is down town Khon Kaen. It is at 250-252 Srichan Road Muang. Across from the shopping mall. It is a 4 star hotel with of course great AC. Lots of amenities available both inside hotel and out. I like it because of the shopping mall just feet away and a Starbucks for good wireless. Lots to see and get in the shopping mall including great electronics and inexpensive. 
Link here for more about the Kosa Hotel rates an specials.

Not far down the road from the Kosa Hotel is Pullman Khon Kaen Raja Orchid Hotel  a beautiful
hotel on Prachasumran Road Nai Muang Amphur Muang and also near the Khon Kaen Shoping Centre.  We never stayed here but have had lunch, dinner and drinks. Lots of bars near by for those exciting nights out. Its probably the most expensive hotel in Khon Kaen but worth it if you want luxury. As you know from our travels all we care about is a nice room, AC and a safe hotel with great hospitality. Reason we like the Kosa Hotel.

I shouldn't forget the Beer Garden Bar just outside the Kosa Hotel where we have frequent so often and made life long friends. So please check these links out and you will find fantastic savings!!
Take Care for now more to come of the hotels we have and will be staying at.

Waterfalls of Dreams

We come across these beautiful waterfalls on one of our hikes north of highway 7 near Havelock.
The waterfalls were amazing but the rock outcrops were totally unbelievable! I am glad not many know of this place or be ruined by to many visitors. If you like to find it send me an email and can give directions.
