Buri Ram in Thailand THAILANDE thailand. buriram Informations and links Buri Ram200000 Map Buri Ram Photos Buri Ram ------------------------------- Shaking off the dreadful memories of the week, we set out for Northeastern province called Korat. On the map it reads "Nakon Rachasima."Saturday morning! Its much nearer than Petchabun. Thanks to the "Outer Ring Road" we could reach Saraburi within one and half hour. Passing Saraburi you can see mountains and there are not much palm trees around. The scenery recalls mountains in Korea. We prepared sandwiches - our favorite ration for trip - and we could make a easy drive to Korat where we arrived only at 1:00 p.m. We checked our travel books and referred at the TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand) office at Korat. At 2:00 we depart Korat to Phimai - around 60Km way to Khon Kaen. Phimai is a small town but its full of Khmer temple and ruins. I have been here a couple of years ago then they were under restoration. The official name is Prasat Hin Phimai. Angkor period Khmer shrine monument, originally started by Khmer King Jayavarman V in the late 10th century and finished by King Suriyavarman I (1002-49) in the early 11th century. Therefore, originally it was built as Hindu but later it worked like Mahayana Buddhist temple. Tall main shrine is made of white sandstone (as you see Naga - kind of snake) while other part of shrine is pink sandstone and laterlite - as you can see the picture on the left below. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US ally following the conflict. Thailand is currently facing armed violence in its five Muslim-majority southern provinces..
