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.
Car with driver for tour in Thailand
My husband and I want to make a trip from Bangkok on our own over the Khorat plateau and visit Vientianne and part of Laos. Then travel via Chiang Rai towards Chiang Mai down via Ayutthaya and back to Bangkok.
The Khorat-Thai, an (almost) forgotten minority
Thailand is today a melting pot of all kinds of peoples and cultures. One of the smallest and therefore almost disappeared minorities are the so-called Khorat-Thai (ไทยโคราช) who often describe themselves as Tai Beung (ไทยเบิ้ง) or Tai Deung (ไทยเดิ้ง).
Ya Mo: Not a kitten to handle without gloves
Strong women have often played a key role in Siam's turbulent history. One of the most famous examples of this is undoubtedly Thao Suranaree or Ya Mo as she is called in Isan. However, there was nothing in her youth to indicate that she would play a decisive role at a turning point in Siamese history, on the contrary.
The Isan, the unknown Thailand
However, very few tourists visit the northeastern part of Thailand, the Isaan. That is the name for the northeastern part of Thailand.
I am looking for a good reliable dentist and reasonably priced in Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat). This mainly concerns a crown and bridge. I live in Dan Khun Thot about 45 km from Khorat. Who has experience and can help me find a skilled dentist in Khorat.
I notice big price differences in the store for wine and whisky. Price of 5 liters at Macro, Lotus and Big C 965 baht, at Best Pattaya 910 baht and at Thepprasit Road liquor store, 50 meters from Thappraya, 850 baht. So saves a sip on a wine glass. What are your experiences?
