Lady Restaurant
One of several garden restaurants in this part of town, Lady serves some exquisite Thai food. Unfortunately, there’s no English menu, but you can’t go wrong with đôm yam gài bâhn (Isan-style spicy and sour soup with free-range chicken), Ъlah tábtim râht prík (deep-fried red tilapia with sweet-and-sour chilli sauce) or pàt gà rèe gûng (shrimp with Indian curry sauce).

Tat Ton National Park
The best known of Chaiyaphum’s natural reserves, Tat Ton National Park is a scenic little spot on the edge of the Laenkha mountain range, 23km north of the city. Covering 218 sq km, Tat Ton is best known for its photogenic namesake waterfall, which is only 6m tall but stretches to 50m wide during the May to October rainy season.

Chorragah Lahp Gory
With its concrete floor, corrugated-metal roof and old-time foods, like the namesake gôry (raw beef with lemon, chilli, fish sauce and extra blood), this no-nonsense Isan eatery takes diners back to the village. The partial picture menu gets you through the language barrier.

Tamnak Keow
Built in 1950 as the governor’s residence and now restored as a museum, Tamnak Keow has ho-hum displays of old mát·mèe cloth and photos from King Rama IX’s 1955 visit. It’s open by appointment only; it’s hardly worth the effort.

Jae Hai Tek
Unlike most Thai jae restaurants, which only have a buffet tray, this hole in the wall cooks up food to order using mock chicken, cuttlefish (Ъlah mèuk) and more. Either ask for your favourite dish or point to the pictures hanging on the gate.

Night Bazaar
This street market west of downtown is a better foraging destination than the night market by the bus station.
