Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex

Nakhon Ratchasima has become the first province in Thailand to have three UNESCO sites, following the declaration of Khorat National Geopark as the Khorat UNESCO Global Geopark on May 24, 2023.

Two other sites are the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, which was declared a Natural World Heritage Site in 2005, and the Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve, which was designated in 1976. Part of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex is located in Nakhon Ratchasima, while the Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve is located in the Wang Nam Khiao district of Nakhon Ratchasima.

The Khorat UNESCO Global Geopark covers the middle to lower part of the Lam Takhong River basin and covers the districts of Sikhio, Kham Thale So, Chaloem Phra Kiat, Mueang and Sung Noen of Nakhon Ratchasima.

  1. RNo says up

    The headline of this article is incorrect.

    Not Nakhon Ratchasima City but Nakhon Ratchasima province has 3 Unesco sites.

    This is stated correctly in the article itself.
