#bus Nakhon Ratchasima is the largest province in northeastern Thailand and an important transit point from Bangkok to the Isaan area. Although Nakhon Ratchasima is not as famous as Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket and other major tourist towns in Thailand, it is a niche tourist city. But Nakhon Ratchasima also has its own very special scenic spots, such as Phimai Stone Palace, which is the most famous tourist attraction in Nakhon Ratchasima. It is known as "Little Angkor Wat" and is an ancient architectural site that is about a hundred years older than Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Many people rent or charter a car to go to Phimai Stone Palace. In fact, you can take a bus from Terminal 2 of the bus station in Nakhon Ratchasima, and the fare is only 59 baht. This time I took a bus in Korat and went to Phimai Stone Palace. Bus guide: Mobile map navigation Nakhon Ratchasima Bus Terminal 2Bus Station 2 (NEW), this is the new bus station in Nakhon Ratchasima. Take a taxi or walk there. When you get to the station, find platform 41. The parked bus goes to Phimai Stone Palace. The bus is available, the fare is 59 baht, the bus runs every hour from 6 am, and the last bus is at 5 pm. Just get on the bus and there will be a conductor on the bus who will come to collect the fare. Tell him to go to phimai and he will know. The bus stops directly at the entrance of the scenic spot, which is very convenient. When we came back, we were waiting for the bus back to Korat across the road. #Thailand #Good Places in October 2024 #Good Places for Parents and Children

🛕🛕🛕Located within the walls of Phimai city on the southeast side of Phimai Stone Castle, it is a large pagoda made of bricks, situated on a high mound. The reason it is called Meru Phromthat is probably related to the local legend of “Thao Pajit and Nang Araphim”, which tells of this place being the place where Thao Phromthat was cremated. It is still unknown when it was built, but it is assumed that it was built after the Khmer art at Phimai Stone Castle. cr.TAT #KoratHasGood #Korat #Phimai

Sai Ngam Park A perennial plant, locally called "Sai Yoi". From the study, it was found that this Sai Ngam tree has grown and spread its branches, providing shade for more than 350 years. Sai Ngam became well-known and famous since Her Majesty Queen Savang Vadhana of King Rama V visited Phimai on January 21, 1911 and gave the name of this tourist attraction "Sai Ngam". In addition to the beautiful name, Sai Ngam is also an impressive tourist attraction with the beauty of the Sai roots that are intertwined and intertwined in a complex way, intertwined into a giant network that is connected like a spider web. Some of the Sai roots hang down vertically, imagining a tree arch, a creative work from nature. In addition, some of the Sai Ngam branches have been transformed into chairs for tourists to sit and enjoy the view along the river, providing a peaceful and private atmosphere. In the Sai Ngam area, a walking path will connect you to the "Sai Ngam Shrine" and "Phra Suphan Kanlaya Shrine", sacred shrines that locals and tourists respect. On the side of the court, you will see "Ruen Wibul Laksom" (a white wooden house jutting into the water, built in the name of General Chatichai Choonhavan's mother). From there, walk along the nature trail or you may stop to release fish or turtles into the river. Continue along the path until you reach the end of the road, where there will be a suspension bridge connecting to the other side, which looks like a multi-purpose building that is still under construction.

The largest stone castle in Thailand is Phimai Historical Park, located in Nakhon Ratchasima province. This site highlights its historical significance as a central hub and a key gateway from the Mun River basin to the ancient city of Angkor in the Khmer Empire, as well as to settlements in the Chao Phraya River basin. Numerous ancient sites can be found both inside and outside the ancient city of Phimai, but the most notable is the Phimai Historical Park.

Many people often ask, "Going to see rocks?" But for me, walking around to see ancient artifacts is not just looking at antiques — it's communicating with the past. Every time I walk into the Phimai National Museum, what I feel is not boredom, but the delicacy of human craftsmanship that no machine can replicate. It's like listening to classical music... Even after decades, it's still beautiful. On the contrary, viral songs these days may disappear in a few weeks. 🎧 If we never learn from history, we may unknowingly repeat the same mistakes. But if we know the origin, we will know how to move forward. Walking around the past allows me to live mindfully in the present, and I believe that the future will be better as well. ⸻ 🏛 Phimai National Museum Here, there is a rich display of Khmer artifacts. There are ancient Buddha images, stone inscriptions, and architectural pieces from Phimai Castle that cannot be seen anywhere else. Some pieces are real objects that were moved from historical sites for conservation. Walking around for less than an hour, but you get more than you think. ⸻ 🧭 Recommended for those who are hesitating: • If you are a photographer Don't forget to bring a good camera. The light in the museum is very warm. • If you are a thinker, this place is suitable for a quiet walk and listening to yourself. ⸻ This trip has no sea view, no cafe, no dessert. But there is definitely "knowledge" and "mindfulness" in the bag to take home. 🏛 Information about Phimai National Museum Full name: Phimai National Museum Location: Tambon Nai Mueang, Amphoe Phimai, Nakhon Ratchasima Province (near Phimai Stone Castle, walkable) ⏰ Opening-closing hours: Open daily from 08:30 - 16:30 hrs.

On this trip, we passed through Nakhon Ratchasima Province, so we took the opportunity to visit the Phimai Historical Park. Being a fan of off-the-books history programs, I had already heard about the grandeur of this ancient site. It is said to predate the Khmer city of Angkor. In ancient times, there was even a royal road connecting it to Angkor. Although the architecture has weathered over time, the magnificence of the stone temple complex is still evident. Another thing I appreciated was how well the staff maintained the site; the area is clean and shaded, making it very pleasant to explore. If you're passing through Nakhon Ratchasima, consider stopping by Phimai to experience its historical charm.
