Blurring the lines between Thai, Khmer and Lao cultures, the Isaan region offers visitors a compellingly different take on things. Banner sights are in shorter supply than in the rest of the country, but scenic Mekong villages, underrated national parks and distinct culinary traditions reward intrepid explorers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>WHEN TO GO &amp; WEATHER<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Drier than other regions of Thailand, regular afternoon<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> showers can be expected between May and October.
