Its time to head to one of Thailand’s biggest provinces and visit grand temples, national parks and exciting night markets. Thailand is a land full of beautiful sights and visuals. Usually, visitors just come and visit the famous tourist spots such as Bangkok, Pattaya or Krabi, but there are many lesser-known destinations known for their fascinating landscape and amazing locales. Nakhon Ratchasima province is one of them. The sixth-largest city is also known as “Korat” in Thailand. The area is known for its awe-inspiring Khmer era art and cultural influences. Another reason that makes Nakhon Ratchasima so unique and special is its lack of touristy influence and presenting a fascinating picture of Thailand with lush rural rice fields towards the border of Cambodia and Laos. Here are some of the top attractions you can enjoy in Korat. Khao Yai National Park. If you want to experience the thrill of jungle trekking and enjoy nature’s bounty with diverse fauna and flora, then you must head to Khao Yai National Park. For a bird watcher, it is especially a treat as the park has many species of birds. What makes the park truly amazing are the beautiful waterfalls in the background. Wat Ban Rai. It is considered one of the most unusual sights in Thailand. At the first look, the temple looks and feels like any other Thai temple, but as you walk towards the rear of the site, the beauty and grandeur take your breath away. A large shrine covered with ceramic in the shape of an elephant is placed over the water, and the walkway is dazzled by intricate naga statues. The walls of the temple contain scenes from the life and teachings of Lord Buddha. The artwork is stunning and awe-inspiring. Night Ban Koh. And how can we complete the trip without a visit to Ban Koh? You can experience the city like a true Korati and be a part of the hustle and bustle of shops, roadside eateries. To get the best experience of Ban Koh, you must visit at night and witness the colourful night market. Lose yourself in unbelievable bargains and lip-smacking local street food. Mister Mushroom. If you love mushrooms, then this is the place for you. Experience the mushroom growing process, its different varieties in a farm situated in Wang Nam Khiao district. You can buy anything, and everything related to mushrooms, including souvenirs and even mushroom flavoured ice cream! Would you like to visit Korat on your next trip to Thailand?
