Khorat, also known as Nakhon Ratchasima is the gateway to the Lower Northeaast of Thailand. This city has been a key administrative centre since ancient times and remains the main transportation hub and economic heart of the Lower Northeast. Khorat is rich in nature’s bounty with forest, hills, and waterfalls. Definitely a place less hectic as Bangkok but filled with many fun activities and interesting visits. Check these out.
