Looks like you have been given good advice, Sofi Hotel is the best hotel in Khon Kaen, I think ThomYam says you can get a room for 1000 baht per night. The hotel I have lways stayed is called Pi Pi Hotel, centrally located & clean with the usual facilities. Expect to pay no more than 500baht per night for room. I have never had to book before!!! I suspect high season only related to big tourist destinations, Im guessing here but I doubt too many people regard christmas and new year in Khon Kaen as being a major issue regarding influx of tourists

Hope this helps G

ps only point to note lots of farangs may travel to Khon Kaen which may cause flights to be full and influence price, i.e. your Thai Airways price, should be no more than 1800 baht per person one way. But I reckon most farangs will be heading off to their GF villages or their own houses outside Khon Kaen.

You will get quite a surprise at the volume of farangs at Khon Kaen airport, it has risen quite dramatically in the last year
