webfact Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 CNN names Isaan as top world destination By The Nation Red Lotus Sea in Kumphawapi district of Udon Thani BANGKOK: -- Thailand’s Northeastern region, known locally as Isaan, has been named by US news network CNN as one of the world’s top 17 places to visit this year. Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, said: “Isaan has a long history, with some of Southeast Asia’s oldest settlements found here. In modern times, the region is famous for its fiery salads, country music, stunning scenery and elaborate temples. “There is so much to be enjoyed here and most of it unseen by tourists, so we encourage people to explore and discover their own amazing Isaan stories.” Full story: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/breakingnews/30306925 -- © Copyright The Nation 2017-02-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick220675 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I like parts of Issan, I would rather spend time in rural Issan than Bangkok. But the CCN list is rubbish it dose not even include Bridlington and there is no mention of the cultural wonders of Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the place. My family are from Hull, I take my farther there once a year when I go back to the UK. So he can visit his brother, It has become a increasingly sad event. Hull was once a very impressive city that has lost its way. This year it is the European city of culture and I am hoping they have spruced it up a bit. It makes me sad to see my farther get upset when he see's how things have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Most men on TV sleep with women from Isaan so be careful what you write here she may take revenge.

kamahele Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 For the naysayers, you should read the CNN article as to why they have chosen Isaan. It makes sense for those people who don't want the same old same old tourist experience. As I make my home there part time, I kind of hope not many people read the article and spoil my special place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
