Sorry, I don't know the exact location of a proper wine shop in Khon Kaen, but I live in Roi Et (about 95km from Khon Kaen) and we have a local shop here (in the basement of the Roi Et Plaza) that has 100+ different wines to choose from... so I'm sure Khon Kaen has that or better someplace. Lotus, Big-C and Makro also carry wine... and if you're entertaining largely Thai guests (that likely have little experience with wine) the boxed/jugged wine at these superstores should go over fine and is also economic for a large party (most Thai people don't normally drink wine... but they won't pass a chance to drink it!!!).  The supermarket in the basement of Central Plaza mall has the largest selection of wine I've seen in Khon Kaen.... that's your best bet if you're looking for wines that you are familiar with at home.

I am a US citizen. My Thai partner just applied for his second US visitor's visa today (for second trip to the US). All they looked at was my invitation letter and our passports (mostly mine) and asked a few questions to establish the length of our relationship (5 years), the length of my residency in Thailand (5 years) and our source of money (I work from Thailand over the internet for a US company) . All of that was explained in the invitation letter I wrote and I guess they wanted to hear it from my partner's mouth as well. They did not ask to see any other documents (bank books/statements, proof of assets in Thailand, etc.). He was granted a second 2-year visa. We were hoping for a 10-year... perhaps next time!
