Khon Kaen (Thai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_alphabet) ขอนแก่น) is the second-largest of the north-eastern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isan)provinces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Thailand) (changwat) of Thailand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand). Neighboring provinces are (from north clockwise) Nongbua Lamphu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nongbua_Lamphu_Province), Udon Thani (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udon_Thani_Province), Kalasin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalasin_Province), Maha Sarakham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maha_Sarakham_Province), Buriram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buriram_Province), Nakhon Ratchasima (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakhon_Ratchasima_Province), Chaiyaphum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaiyaphum_Province), Phetchabun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phetchabun_Province) and Loei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loei_Province).
Khon Kaen is located in the heart of the Khorat Plateau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorat_Plateau). The Chi River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_River) flows through this province
The first city of the area was established in 1783 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1783) when Rajakruluang settled there with 330 people. King Rama I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rama_I) made Rajakruluang the first governor of the area when establishing tighter connections with the Isan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isan) area. The main city was moved six times until in 1879 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1879) it reached its modern location at Nuang Kaw. Khon Kaen became the administrative centre in the beginning of the 20th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century)

Is Katherine Westbury an Anglo-Thai?

Anglo??? No idea what that means

She's a native thai yes (even though she's lived in NZ for most of her life!!!). From seeing her father I wouldn't be surprised if shes either quarter Indian/Fijian. I didn't ask him, he's a bit um intimidating :lol:

I guess that means she's a Thai-Anglo then. :lol:
