Kalasin, east of
Khon Kaen, is a smaller province similarly noted
for its fine silk and for the temple of Wat
Klang, which enshrines a superbly fashioned
black Buddha image that is widely believed to
bring rain during periods of drought. In recent
times, Kalasin has also gained famed for the
significant discoveries of dinosaur fossils,
numbers of which are now exhibited in a newly
completed dinosaur museum but the silk-weaving
villages and scattered Khmer ruins remain its
main attractions.
As with other I-san
destinations, Kalasin is ultimately rewarding
for the warm hospitality of its people and the
traditional values to which they still adhere
which guarantees your journey here to be very
pleasant.
