Nakhon Ratchasima, often called Korat, is the capital of Nakhon Ratchasima province, the largest city in Northeastern Thailand and the third-largest city in the country, about 250 kilometers northeast of Bangkok. Serving as the historic gateway between central Thailand and the Isan plateau, the city is a major transportation and agricultural trading hub for the region and a base for exploring nearby national parks and Khmer-era temple ruins.
