The city of Korat, known as the gateway to Thailand’s Northeast, offers a completely different experience compared to the more tourist-oriented areas of Thailand, and for this reason, it makes it a great place to visit. With sprawling paddy plains, wide open countryside and a very friendly population, this is the Thailand many people don’t get to experience. The city itself offers both domestic and international visitors a wide range of options for both Valentine’s Day (Feb 14th) and the Chinese New Year (Year of the Horse, starts 17th Feb).
If you find yourself in Korat City this Valentine’s Day and looking for something to do, there are a wide range of attractions, with some of the most notable being Thao Surananee (Ya Mo) Monument, Wat Sala Loi and Wat Phayap. If you prefer to spend your day in air-conditioned comfort, The Mall Ratchasima and Terminal 21 Korat might be good options with a wide array of dining options and, of course, plenty of shopping!
Korat City is home to communities of people with Chinese ancestry, so you can guarantee that the Chinese New Year will be celebrated to the full! More structured and publicised New Year events and shows take place on Chomphon Road (Dragon Road), where you can expect cultural performances, contemporary shows and live music. Don’t forget to wear something red!
If you’re heading to Korat anytime around mid February, accommodation is usually in high demand, so booking early is essential. Book directly with Centre Point to secure the best room rates and find out about any current offers or seasonal promotions.
