All ranges of tourist attractions are available here that you need to take quite some time to visit all of them. Locating a few hours away from Bangkok with easy transportation the province is very popular for tourists, especially in Khao Yai national park. Nakhon Ratchasima is the biggest province in Thailand in term of space. Nakhon Ratchasima, otherwise known as Khorat, is the largest northeastern province, and the inhabitants of the province are mainly engaged in agricultural activities, growing such diverse crops as rice, sugar cane, sesame, and fruit.
There are more than savings and agricultural cooperatives in the province, 35 irrigation projects, and 7, industrial factories. Most of the factories are rice mills, tapioca product manufacturers, and industrial factories. The town was established in the seventeenth century. It was originally walled with a moat.
The moat and bits of reconstructed wall can still be seen. In front of the western gate Pratu Chumphon stands the shrine to Thao Suranaree left. This nineteenth century heroine was the wife of a city official who, together with a band of other local women, managed to defeat a Laotian invasion by getting the Lao soldiers drunk. Every year from March 23 to 3 April they hold a festival in Thao Suranaree's honor, and this is perhaps the best time to visit Korat, although be warned that its also one of the hottest times of the year!
The area around the shrine is turned into a sort of county fair with many booths selling local products, household goods, etc.
There are also a few rides for the kiddies, a stage where local high school bands perform by day and more well known Thai pop stars may be seen at night. Apart from the annual festival, the main attraction to Korat is as a base for exploring the sights of the surrounding area, such as Phimai , Dan Kwian and perhaps Phnom Rung.
