This year's Thai TESOL Conference was in the northern town Khon Kaen. It is the de facto capital of Isaan with a population around 150,000. it has a much slower pace than Bangkok and prices are also more reasonable here.
There were lots of dinosaur statues around town (this one at a hotel) promoting museum that houses the dinosaur fossils unearthed in the area.
Here's an example of the inexpensive local stret food, spicy noodles for 10 baht ($0.35).
