Journey to Korat

Nakhon Ratchasima, often known as Korat, is the next stop on our journey. Korat is about 2.5 hours from Bangkok, in the south central part of Thailand, on the Mun River. We have a driver and a van reserved for the next three days to take us to and from Korat. I'm attaching a link to some pictures, and I'll edit later if I find more information.

This will be my first visit to Korat, so I don't know exactly what to expect - but I am certain of finding the warm hospitality that we have found already on our visit to Thailand. Our evening is already planned, and the rumor from our coworkers is that our Korat colleagues enjoy Karaoke. I suspect we may be singing for our supper tonight!

I have heard that in parts of Thailand, it is difficult to find and to use large construction equipment, so elephants are often used to haul debris and building materials. I'll let you know if I see any elephants.
