"Well off the tourist trail..." Nakhon Ratchasima by jrs1234

Nakhon Ratchasima Travel Guide: 129 reviews and 373 photos

Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Korat, is not somewhere most tourists get too. It's somewhere I've visited a lot, though, as my wife Ning hails from just outside the city.

The city itself doesn't boast much in the way of tourist attractions - although it has plenty of shopping opportunities, and some good hotels. Just up the road though is the town of Phimai, which has a fine Angkor-era temple.

It's nice to have family in such exotic places. Too funny there is a Tesco's. I found one in The Czech Republic that had a great selection of beers and know them well from the UK.
