Thai Air is the only airline that fly from Bangkok to Khon Kaen. About 2,800 Baht one way.

I always go by train: second-class sleeper from Bangkok (Hua Lamphong) to Khon Kaen, lower berth is about 690B I think. I think the upper berth is cheaper still, but the curtain doesn't block out the light. It is comfortable enough, I have no trouble sleeping. The train leaves Bangkok about 20:45 and arrives somewhere around 6am.

Don't know about trains from Pattaya, sorry.
