CNN has rated Isaan, Thailand’s often overlooked northeast region, among the top 17 places to visit in 2017.
Issan has only recently appeared on the tourist map and has yet to earn a reputation with foreign travelers as a popular holiday destination alongside Bangkok and Chiang Mai.However, CNN noted Isaan's huge tourist potential and encourages travelers to experience it.
Isaan comprises 20 provinces and enjoys a developed tourist infrastructure, including several airports and a broad array of upscale accommodation options. Moreover, it’s home to a great number of museums, historic monuments, national parks and other sights which will be of great interest to international visitors.
