I don’t know what I expected, but after exploring a bit of Khon Kaen today, I find all my first impression confirmed: Its boring.

I mean, Khon Kaen is no touristy city to begin with, so I kind of knew what I was getting myself into, however, I still hoped to find something cool, unique or beautiful that people probably just don’t know about. Instead, I found pretty much nothing. Its a small city without any very special things to it. Its a transportation hub for Isaan, the eastern part of Thailand, and while there are a couple of interesting places around Khon Kaen, the city itself does not offer too much.

To be fair, probably I did not give it a very fair treatment. The last two days were full of slacking and me not being motivated to do anything, and so going out exploring was nothing that I was really looking forward to. I don’t really know where this unmotivation is coming from, usually I am not like that. Perhaps its because the last weeks have really been quite full and exhausting, and my body needs some rest. Or its because the weather is dull and grey almost every day, which is especially bad when you want to photograph.

I don’t really know but I hope that it gets better, I don’t like being lazy, I always get a bad conscious when slacking.

Yours
