THE NORTHEAST
NAKHON RATCHASIMA
Also known as horat, Nakhon Ratchasima is the gateway to
Thailand’s northeast region, known as I-san in Thai, a largely rural area and
the least changed part of the country.
The province has a long recorded history
and during the pre Thai period was an important outpost of the ancient Khmer
civilization centred on Angkor, in Cambodia.
The largest and finest of several
Khmer sites in the area in Phimai is an 11th century temple complex
that has been well restored.
Besides place of historical and cultural interest, Nakhon
Ratchasima is also home to vast tracts of Khao Yai National Park, ranked as one
of the country’s finest nature preserved and featuring a great diversity of
habitats from evergreen rainforest to savannah.
