Ya Mo of Korat people, Thao Suranaree’s original name was Khunying Mo. She was the wife of the mayor of Nakhon Ratchasima. In 1826, Prince Anouvong of Vientiane led an army to capture Korat. Khunying Mo rallied the villagers to fight and successfully resisted Prince Anouvong’s army, preventing them from invading Bangkok. King Nangklao therefore graciously bestowed the title of "Thao Suranaree." Because Ya Mo became a symbol of the people of Korat, it is the origin of another name for Nakhon Ratchasima, "Ya Mo City." Every year from March 23 to April 3, there is a celebration of Thao Suranaree’s victory in front of the provincial hall. Tourists are welcome to attend this grand event. Location: Located in the heart of the city, between Ratchadamnoen Road and Chumpon Road, Mueang District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. #spiritualattraction

This is another place that we feel is very worthwhile. Both the design style and the parking lot. And actually, this place also provides pre-wedding photography. And the room we stayed in can sleep 3 people for 890 baht. For us, it was very cheap because we went to sleep with our parents. There was no separate room, but they divided the zones. The room was quite spacious. There were robes, but the other bed was a foldable sofa. They provided pillows. And if anyone didn't bring a towel, they had some for rent. In the case of 3 people staying in this type of room, or very close to the city, you can go to pay respects to Ya Mo, the mall is no more than 3-4 km away. Love it #beautiful accommodation

In 1826, the King of Vientiane, Anouvong invaded Siam, seeking complete independence. Anouvong's forces seized the city of Nakhon Ratchasima by a ruse when the governor was away. The invaders evacuated the inhabitants, intending to resettle them in Laos. Lady Mo is credited with saving her people by harassing the enemy. Varying stories describe her either getting the invading soldiers drunk, or leading a rebellion of the prisoners on the way back to Vientiane. The generally accepted version is that, when the Lao invaders ordered the women to cook for them, Lady Mo requested knives so that food might be prepared. That night, when the invaders were asleep, she gave the knives to the imprisoned men. They surprised the Lao troops, who fled, and the prisoners escaped. Thai King Rama III soon sent an army in pursuit, led by General Sing Singhaseni (สิงห์ สิงหเสนี). He defeated Anuvoung's forces in three days of fighting and completely destroyed Anuvoung's capital city of Vientiane.

Thao Suranaree Monument, it's a statue on a pedestal of the city heroin, Thao Suranaree standing just in front of the Chumphon Gate. Built in 1934, it became the symbol of Nakhon Ratchasima. #GiveThanks

Ken Izakaya Review When it comes to Japanese-style izakaya in Korat, one of the restaurants you shouldn't miss is Ken Izakaya. This restaurant has everything that a real izakaya should be, from the atmosphere, the aroma of charcoal-grilled food, to a variety of menus, catering to both drinkers and foodies. 📍 Address The restaurant is located on Chomsurangyat Road, near Wat Nong Bua Rong Intersection. It's very convenient to travel to. Parking may be a bit limited.

If you like a restaurant with style and a feeling like you're sitting in a Japanese pub, you have to try it. 🤗 Food taste The food here emphasizes freshness and uses quality ingredients, especially the grilled menu, which has a nice charcoal aroma that's not too burnt. Rich flavor without dipping sauce is delicious. The raw fish menu is fresh and clean, no fishy smell at all. 🤩 Recommended menu • Thinly sliced ​​Hamachi - Fresh Hamachi, bouncy meat, naturally sweet, great with soy sauce. • Grilled Salt Fish - Charcoal grilled with crispy skin, juicy meat. • Japanese Cucumber with Sesame Oil - A snack that helps cut the richness, crispy, fresh and very fragrant with sesame. • Charcoal Grilled Wagyu Beef - Soft meat, melts in your mouth, grilled to perfection, no need to dip in sauce. 🕰️ Opening hours The shop is open every day from 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM.

The Thao Suranari Monument, also known locally as 'Ya Mo', commemorates a brave Thai heroine from nearly 200 years ago. She rallied the villagers to fight against the army of King Anouvong (the King of Vientiane) who intended to invade Bangkok. She was later honored with the title 'Thao Suranari'. As time passed, her story began to fade. To honor her bravery, a monument was erected during the reign of King Rama V, about 91 years ago. Since then, it has become a spiritual refuge and a center of faith for the people of Korat. People come to pray for various blessings, including good fortune, career success, safe travels, and overcoming obstacles.

#WinterTravel Hansa Restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) The restaurant is located in the city center, near the Thao Suranaree (Ya Mo) Monument. This time, the host of the Kathin ceremony was the host. It was a private room. It was a creative party because they hired a special singer who was not from the restaurant. Everyone ate their fill. There was unlimited liquor, wine, and beer!!!! There were about 20-30 people who sang songs and had fun. I didn't take any pictures of the food. The taste of the food was good. If anyone comes to Ya Mo, come and try it.

Monument of Thao Suranaree (Ya Mo) Ya Mo" is a Thai heroine who is in the hearts of all Korat people. It is considered a monument that honors the goodness of the country's first common heroine. Anyone who comes to Nakhon Ratchasima, stop by to pay homage to Thao Suranaree (Ya Mo) #trip #Nakhon Ratchasima #Ya Mo Korat

Address : Rajadamnern Rd, Nai Mueang, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District, Nakhon Ratchasima 30000, Thailand Highlight :, Many attractions in Korat are centred around the legendary heroine Yaa Mo (Thao Suranari), as well as the victorious battle she led against invading Laotians (not bad for an elderly woman, although you really don’t want to mess with an Isaan granny). And Yaa Mo is celebrated throughout the city, starting with Korat City Gate (Pratu Chumphon), known also as ‘Yaa Mo Entrance’. Then there are all sorts of shrines and monuments dotted through the central city square including a presiding Yaa Mo statue in her honour. This is also where you will find a smaller city gate where legend tells ‘if passed through the visitor will either return to Korat someday or marry someone from Korat’. So to be safe I didn’t pass through (I’m happily married) and a return to Korat is almost guaranteed anyway. Again, back to Yaa Mo, there is a temple nearby named Wat Sala Loi (Floating Pavillion Temple) which was originally built by the heroine herself and is home to her relics (although there is a new more fancy temple now built next to it). Rating :4.8/5
