OVER VIEW

‘NAKHON RACHASSIMA’: (Usually nicknamed ‘Khorat’) is the second city of the country. The whole province (as well as the neighboring ones), hide treasures of architecture. Effectively, the mighty Khmer empire of ‘Angkor’ was far bigger than the actual Cambodia. Many temples were built in Cambodia, but also in Thailand. Though some temples can be visited in Kanchanaburi, Lopburi or Petchburi, most of them are located in ‘Isaan’ region.

What remain from these temples are mostly ruins, or even worse, only stones heaps. Nevertheless, few temples are pretty well conserved and even worthy of comparison with some temples from the famous ‘Angkor’ compound. Thai Khmer temples are mainly located in Ubon Rachatani, Sisaket or Buriram provinces, or close to Khorat town.
NSTRAVEL brings real amateurs of History on the tracks of this lost empire. During the stay, you will discover life of locals, history, handicraft and Isaan food. It is a trip to one of the must unknown regions of Thailand.
