NakhonNa on NayokNay 348 Kingdom of Cambodia Country Boundary Line 305 PrachinPr BurB i 0 11 Northeast Thailand, or I-san as it is called in Thai, covers roughly one-third of the Kingdom’s land area, and for ease of travellers’ orientation it is best divided into upper and lower regions. All of the Northeast is exceptional in its rural landscapes, his- tory and folk culture, while the upper and lower regions have their own distinct attractions, the latter most notably has the finest Khmer ruins to be seen in Thailand, as well as towns and villages with individual character and sights. Namtok Heo Suwat, Nakhon Ratchasima Phrathat Kong Khao Noi, Yasothon I-San Lower Northeast Thailand as its most traditional, friendly, charming, and endlessly fascinating. From tranquil villages to awesome temple ruins, it’s a world of discovery. Gateway to the Lower Northeast is Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Khorat. This is I-san’s largest province, covering an area of 20,494 sq. km., with the provincial capital of the same name located 259 km. northeast of Bangkok. The city has since ancient times been a key administrative centre and remains the main transportation hub and economic heart of the Lower Northeast. Historic importance is witnessed in a number of superb ancient Khmer ruins, while scenically the province is rich in nature’s bounty with forests, hills, and waterfalls, the best scenery being preserved and readily accessible in Khao Yai National Park. Furthermore, the area is well known for a variety of quality handicrafts. City Attractions Thao Suranari Monument Erected in 1933 and located in the centre of Nakhon Ratcha- sima, the monument honours the Thai heroine known locally as Ya Mo.
