Introduction
259km (161 miles) NE of Bangkok; 150km (94 miles) W of Buriram; 305km (189 miles) S of Udon Thani
Nakhon Ratchasima, popularly known as Khorat, isn't a wildly interesting city, but it is close to Bangkok and makes a good base for excursions to beautiful Khao Yai National Park and the temples at Phimai and other nearby Khmer sites. It is a rapidly developing industrial city and is called the "Gateway to Isan" because all train lines, bus routes, roads, and communications pass through it. There are some comfortable accommodations in Khorat and a few temples and city monuments worth seeing.
