Phrathat Kham Kaen is a sacred site in the town, located at Wat Chetiyaphum province. Ban Kham has been a city for about 2,000 years, dating back to 43 CE. Inside the stupa now are relics and Buddha statues. On the full moon day of the 6th lunar month, the Phrathat Kham Kaen Homage Paying and Celebration Festival is performed.
This magnificent stupa exemplifies the perfect fusion of modern and Isan folk arts. The stupa was constructed with the belief that the three worlds of heaven, humanity, and the underworld will collide. The artistic Buddha image, Phra Ong Dam, is also enshrined beneath the Chedi, as well as a Dhamma puzzle room. Visitors to the Chedi can learn about the three major pagodas of the three worlds, including Chedi Chula Mani, which is located in Buddhist Cosmology's second heaven, Naga Chedi, or Maha Rattana Chedi Si Trai Lokkathat.
This is a historic temple that has been in existence since 1965. It consists of a significant structure, Sim or an Isan folk act, with exquisite murals showing Buddhist connected stories, culture, customs, Isan people's lifestyle, and local exquisite literature, Sang Sin Sai.
The King Cobra display at Ban Khok Sa-nga is well-known in the public eye. Almost every home in the village has a king cobra raised beneath it. The event includes a range of activities, such as snake dance and boxing between a man and a king cobra, to make it more attractive. Many villagers have gained notoriety as a result of their performances, and have taken on identities such as Karong Noi Mueang Isan, Thong Kham Lukthongchai, and others. Wat Si Thamma is also a venue where the King Cobra Club of Thailand puts on a snake exhibition and nurtures various snake breeds in cages with placards offering information about snakes.
For the residents of Khon Kaen, it served as a multi-purpose dam for energy generation, farming, fisheries, flood protection, transportation, and recreation. Restaurants, lodging, and certain activities are available within the Dam's region, such as a boat excursion to go sightseeing, appreciating a Garden of plant species found in the literature, a park of dinosaur's sculptures, and golf course service.
