Naem Laplae
You can follow the pungent aromas to this old-school Isan food store (if you’ve got a cold, look out for the bright yellow-and-red shopfront), one of several in this area. This and the others sell everything from sweets to sausages, most notably gun chee·ang (red pork sausages).

Walking Street Market
In the spirit of Chiang Mai's street markets, hundreds of vendors, many of them students, gather to sell handmade handbags, T-shirts, postcards, picture frames and more; and almost nothing costs more than 150B. Dancers, musicians and other buskers work strategic corners.

Souvenir
Few Thai visitors leave Khon Kaen without stuffing their suitcase full of local foods: gun chee·ang (red pork sausages) are especially popular. Kà·nŏm tùa (sweets made with peanuts) and kà·nŏm tan·yá·pêut (sweets made with seeds) are another local speciality and this business has been making its own for nearly a century. Free samples are available.
