Introducing Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat)
Khorat doesn’t wear its heart on its sleeve. Touch down in the brash gateway to the northeast and only those sporting a hefty set of rose-tinted specs will be reaching for their camera as they step off the bus. A bumper dose of urban hubbub reflects the city’s growing affluence and Khorat’s one-time historic charm has been largely smothered under a duvet of homogenous development.

Khorat is a city you grow to know. Distinctly Isan, with a strong sense of regional identity, this busy centre is at its best in its quieter nooks (inside the east side of the historic moat, for example), where Thai life, largely untouched by the country’s booming tourist industry, goes on in its own uncompromising way.
