Landmark
In commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of His Majesty the King of Thailand's accession to the throne, Khon Kaen University constructed The Golden Jubilee Convention Hall. Beginning with the laying of the corner stone, presided over by His Majesty the King, the Hall quickly became the pride of northeastern Thailand. Located on Maliwan Road, and with magnificent manicured grounds, the Hall is just 4 km. from the airport and 1.5 km. from the central business district. Khon Kaen is served by some outstanding 4-5 star hotels with neighboring shopping centers, banks, and a regional hospital.
Equipped with functionally state-of-the-art multimedia technology, the Hall provides audio-visual systems that can be tailored to the needs of any client, whether domestic or international. The Hall provides adequate design and appointments to guarantee convenience, comfort and safety. These systems are complementary by 500 on-site parking spaces and additional capacity for up to 30 buses. (Source: http://www.gjchall.com/about.html)

While walking or jogging along campus roads, some of buildings catch your eyes right at the first glance, especially for the foreigner like me. People tend to overlook the beauty of their surrounding environment when they stay in a place for a longer time. But it’s not for the newcomer. Here are some of my choice:
