| 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 E-San region.
Some of the main attractions in Khorat are Khmer ruins. Scattered
around the province, these products of ancient wisdom shines through
time. One of 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.
