The Cabinet is due to consider on 1 September 2026 whether to move the Korat horticultural expo site from Khong to Pak Chong, after a Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council study. Pak Chong has about 800 rai of Livestock Department land beside Friendship Road and M6, with infrastructure already in place; the state would need about 4,000 million baht more. Khong would need about 6,000 million baht of extra infrastructure, roughly 10,000 million baht in total with the event budget, but would spread income to more Isan provinces. If you run a business in Khong or nearby, check whether construction, lodging or food plans depend on the Khong site before committing spending or staff.
