Nakhon Ratchasima at a glance
Nakhon Ratchasima, generally known as "Khorat", is Thailand's largest
province situated on sprawling northeast plateau. Located approximately 260
kilometers northeast of Bangkok, the city itself serves as the gateway to
the lower northeastern region.
Covering an area of 25,494 square kilometers that is mainly plateaus and
mountainous terrain, Khorat has fascinating traditions, charming
hospitality, splendid natural scenery and awesome historical sites.
Some of the main attractions in Khorat are Khmer ruins. Scattered around the
province, these products of ancient wisdom shines through time. One of the
Thailand's finest Khmer ruins can be seen here next to Mon and Lao sites. In
addition, Khorat has an abundance of natural attractions in its forests,
hills, wildlife and waterfalls that are easily accessible in locations such
as Khao Yai National Park.
Apart from the famous statue of Khun Ying Mo,
Khorat is most well known for silk weaving (in Pak Thong Chai) and a variety
of top-notch quality handicrafts such as clay pottery products of Dan Kwian.
