Introducing Nakhon Ratchasima Province
Silk and stone are the cornerstones of the Nakhon Ratchasima tourist industry and it is well worth dipping an inquisitive toe into both facets of the region’s heritage. First up, history aficionados should soak up the stone remains of the region’s Angkor-period heyday. Khmer temples dating from this time still pepper the province and while many have been reduced to amorphic piles of rubble, the restored complex of Prasat Phimai provides an evocative glimpse of times past. If you’re a fashionista, you should explore the region’s silk-weaving industry in Amphoe Pak Thong Chai, Thai silk weaving’s spiritual home. Some of the country’s best cloth comes out of this area.

Top it all off by getting deep into the jungle at Khao Yai, Thailand’s oldest national park and newest World Heritage site. It’s one of the best wildlife-watching destinations in Southeast Asia.

The train hit a car? That must have been rather messy.
