For most travelers, Khon Kaen is just a stopover for points north: Udon, Nong Khai and further to Laos. The town is along the main Route 2, connects by rail with Bangkok and Nong Khai and has a large commercial airport, but Khon Kaen is a relatively new city, having been established in 1783, so there's not much history here though it's well known in Thailand for Khon Kaen University, the largest in Isan, and as the home of Channel 5 (one of the region's largest television stations), as well as for its gigantic branch of the Bank of Thailand. The large hotels in town attract big conventions from Bangkok and therefore, along with local nightlife, cater to boisterous conventioneers. It is a pleasant, thriving city though and worth a wander. Those interested in silk may want to make time to visit the silk village of Chonnabot.
