Welcome to Korat or Nakhon Ratchasima. This ancient city is not only the largest province in Thailand in terms of area, but also a gateway to Northeastern Thailand. I will show you how Korat is a great place to learn about rich cultural heritage. Please follow me.
Korat was founded by King Narai The Great in 1656 during Ayudhaya period. One of the traces we can see nowadays is the city gate called Chumphon Gate or Pratu Chumphon. This morning, it is an auspicious time for me to pay respect to a statue of Thao Suranaree or Ya Mo, which is located next to Chumphon Gate, in the city centre.
Located in the heart of Korat City, Wat Phra Narai Maharat is one of the 6 temples built at the time that the city was founded. It used to be called ‘Wat Klang”, meaning Central temple due to its location. The statue of Ya Mo was located here before being moved to Chumphon Gate in 1934.
Built in 1679, Wat Boon is located to the east of the city walls. The temple name ‘Boon’ comes from ‘Burapa’, meaning ‘The East’. 14 ancient Khoi books or Samut Khoi are well preserved in perfect conditions here. Khoi books are a type of folding book manuscript widely used in many Asian countries in which Buddhism is main religion including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. Three of the Khoi books contain gorgeous Thai paintings telling the story of the previous lives of the Lord Buddha as known as the Ten Jataka Tales.
In the same area, we will find Kuti Noi, an ancient Thai house with unique architecture that cannot be found anywhere else in Thailand.
Half of Ya Mo’s ashes are embedded in a small stupa here and the other half are at her main statue in the city centre. The temple's award-winning ordination hall from the Siam Architects Society was built in 1967. It holds a large gleaming-white Buddha image in 'calming the ocean' posture.
Next, we’re heading to Phimai Historical Park which is an hour drive from Korat city centre. The ancient city of Phimai dates back to around 1,000 years ago or since the time of the ancient Khmer Empire. Now, the place is under a good care of Thailand’s Fine Arts Department.
When I enter the park, I feel something similar to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It is a classic example of Khmer architecture. The architects at that time were best known for using sandstones over the traditional bricks and laterite architectures. The temple was built to resemble the universe. There are many lotus-shaped roofs representing Mount Meru.
I love the wooden walkways built for visitors. They are beautifully blended with this historical site and easy to walk on.
From Phimai, we are going to Pak Chong to find a compilation of colonial and traditional houses which have been bought from various regions of Thailand and restored to their original beauty. I have a chance to meet the owner of today - Khun Oak, Athada Khoman - who will tour me around this amazing place, Villa Musée.
Khun Oak would like to showcase this place as a “living museum” which will serve not only as a place for learning and admiring objects of the past, but also as a place to be lived in and to experience the bygone era.
Khun Oak has a genuine interest in Thai history, especially that of the Rattanakosin period. You will find furniture, antiques, books, and photographs not only of Thai origin but also Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Burmese, and European.
This is a place where we can hold special events such as exhibitions and wedding receptions or simply stay in one of the exclusive accommodations surrounded by the beautiful great mountains of Khao Yai.

Korat was former province of Khmer Empire, Ayuttaya Kingdom changed the name to their intonation. We call and have known as Norkorreach (នគរាជ)meaning The capital of the king. Norkorreach was former Khmer Empire’s province. Then after the fall of Khmer Empire around 13century. In 12 century, Ayuttaya province rebelled and set up their own kingdom in Khmer Empire and started to invade Khmer Empire back and burned Angkor city in Siem Reap to the ground and brought most Khmer Empire intellectuals because that period was the down fall of Khmer Empire due to the drought. Anyway, happy to see that Thai people really have taken good care of the former temples of Khmer Empire even it does not belong to Cambodia or Khmer anymore at the moment. Thai and Khmer share very similar culture. We should look to the future and present as good friendship. Stop hating each other. Past cannot change, we all accept that. Thanks for making this good video. Love Thailand and Thai people l.
Very informative information I hope Thailand can respect and understand this
In historical context, there were a lot of fight so the lands were occupied by many sides ! For example the fall of angkor wat is caused by the invasion of Siam and you know why ? It is because Khmers did invade the ayutaya kingdom at the first place and by that, they replied back to us with a huge destruction since our empire has disagreement in religion and so on.
Yasodharapura (city around Angkor wat) was occupied by Siam king many times too. Overall, I’m happy that others temples is being took care of in a good hand by the professionalism of Thai workers.
Southeast Asia has been doing so bad lately. I hope relations between all SEA nations get better. With the new generations, our future, it seems people are more progressive. The racist old timers are aging. I hope the poverty issue gets better with all SEA nationa
@@dafaa863 Khmer Empire fall not because of Thai but Khmer bloodline and belief system. After Khmer Empire Nagkor Vat was constructed the previous Khmer King converted into Buddhism afterward. This conversation of faith caused a Civilwar among the Khmer leaders and Royalty bloodline. I think Ayuthchea/ Ayutthaya bloodline connected to Suryavarman-II revoked on the Khmer Empire afterward. Remember Suryavarman-II was A GODKING in Khmer Hinduism history.
If Buddhism became Kambu-jadeśa official belief system, than thats mean Khmer GODKING no longer exist. This actually explain how Thai (until this day) embraced Khmer belief system who hybrid it with Buddhsim since Funan era. This is why many Thai King used Hindusm GOD title instead of Buddhsim names and belief system. Mon Khmer converted Thai ancestors into Buddhism claimed by Thai historians. AYODHYA / AYUTTHAYA was Lord Rama Kingdom in RAMAYAN/ REAMKER (IN KHMER)...
Great Episode with historic introduction
Thanks, Patrick. Hope you are doing great!! 😄
Art Thomya Journey thank you ! I’m great, had been busy redoing all my business models for this pandemic. I hope to travel again.

Hey guy Khom is not Khmer Khmer savage they fight and won in battle
@@TheJaophrayaRiver Ctfu. Khmer ancestor are Khom so stop spreading your internet youtube lies. Plus Khmer ancestor was known as Kambujadan since 1 century A.D (Funan Kingdom era) mention by Roman explorer archives. Mekong was also known as Kambujaden river. Learn to used actually fact not your feeling. Plus your broken English comment is pretty much savage 😂😂..
@@TheJaophrayaRiver Funny because Thai want to discredit Khmer so bad (even help funded Pol Pot regime with U S help thru Northern Thailand border) but used Khmer letters in their Pali instead of Thai water down writing system?? It's historical fact that the orginal Dvaravati were "Mon Khmer family " who taught Thai chinese (migrated from Southern China) religion. Plus modern day science can traced your Tai Chinese ancestor before migrating into Se-Asia and resettle in modern day Thailand. Ayutthaya (Ayutthchea real name) was created by Suryavarman bloodline which the famous Tai Chinese Preah Thong end up marrying a Khmer princess (of the region and formed alliances with immigrants) and took over the throne and rebel against Khmer King demands and raising taxes. Preah Tong was a peasant escaping Mongolian wrath into Se-Asia..
@@TheJaophrayaRiverall words are written by Khmer language hey guy why are you saying not Khmer? don’t break the rules that’s Khmer spirit 🎉
Wow 3:15 Khmer transcripts are still being used all over south east Asia,Khmer temple Phimai is so refreshing✨
Khun Goons Right! Thank you for watching. I had a great time filming there in Korat. Hope to be back there again 😊
Yep, the reason why there is a Khmer transcript is that Buddhist monks are interested in learning old languages and translating manuscripts. They pretty much preserve what is lost.
@@Katcom111 No, the reason why they used Khmer letter because (the real truth) is Cambodian ancestor spread Buddhism into Se-Asia. Mainstream Historian don't want to give Cambodian ancestor credit. We even went to ancient China in 3rd century translated Buddhist scriptures to one of ancient China kingdom. We even believed Buddha himself foretold about Khmer history before Funan Kingdom was formed. Look up Tomneay Preah Putah. It mention the fall of Funan , Khmer Empire and how we will genocide ourselves (1975 - 1979). Abandoned city like Battambong (also happen 1975 - 1979). Bangkok (Thailand) will become a ghost town / city too foretold by Khmer ancient prophecy. Why Bangkok? Because it was once apart of Khmer Empire. Until this day Thai King and their Shaman scared of this ancient prophecy..
Nakhon Ratchasima translated into Khmer is called Nokor Reach Borei or Nokor Reach Seyma.
No one wants to know.
Great!! I like this episode. I like history.
Thank you so much, Oun! More videos from Korat are coming soon!

The historical park is really beautiful, I can say. Very tranquil. I love the big trees around there. Also, the 350-year banyan trees at SAI NGAM is stunning too. Thanks for watching!
It's Khmer land before 😘

It's much much older than 1000 year.
Right. Lots of history in this region. Thank you so much for your kind support :)
You meant Khmer? Because Thailand was derived from Khmer. I don't want to use bad words.

¡¡¡¡Hermoso video!!!! De verdad me gustó mucho. En el futuro iré a Tailandia. Muchos saludos desde la Ciudad de Panamá. Luis
Muchas gracias Luis. Pronto habrá más videos :)
I could read those palms leaves script it's all in Khmer, also you shouldn't contradict yourself or historical events such as king narai found the city in 16 century etc, you've contradict yourself because as you can see there's ancient temples already there for thousands of years and city was already there well established, king Narai only took control from the Khmer around 16 century, that's all.
My great great grandmother is from korat, she use to travel to battambang to visit her children and grandchildrens in the 40s, she would only speak Thai and Lao to her grandchildrens.
thank form thailand
ขอบคุณมากครับคุณประเสริฐ หวังว่าช่องนี้จะเป็นเรื่องราวของคนไทยที่จะแชร์ให้เพื่อนต่างชาติได้นะครับ :)
Interesting video. My guess is, the French government drew the map many years ago giving the land to Thailand. If it's true, I would blame the French for making Cambodia smaller than Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
ภาพตรงที่ต้นไม้สานกันตรงไหนคะ สวยจัง ไม่เคยเห็นภาพนี้เลย. ไทรงาม สวยมากๆเลยค่ะ มหัศจรรย์มากๆ ที่ไทยมีที่สวยๆแบบนี้ ถ้ามีเห็ดป่า มอสขึ้นด้วย กล้วยไม้ คงสวยมากๆ แต่แค่นี้ก็สวยจริงๆ ยังกับอินเดีย ที่มีเมืองที่มีสะพานสานรากไม้ สวยมากๆจริงๆค่ะ
nisda suk ชื่อสถานที่คือ ไทรงาม เป็นกลุ่มค้นไทรอายุ 350 ปี ตั้งอยู่ไม่ไกลจากปราสาทหินพิมายครับ 😊
I CAME TO THAILAND 11 YEARS AGO AND KORAT WAS WHERE MY FRIEND WAS GETTING MARRIED. I ENDED UP FALLING IN LUST WITH A BEAUTIFUL THAI LADY AND CAME BACK 6 MONTHS LATER AND WE GOT MARRIED. LIVED IN KORAT FOR 11 YEARS BUT JUST MOVED TO BANGKOK THIS YEAR.
I LIKE BANGKOK BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO CHOOSE FROM BUT JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE. I'M THINKING I MIGHT WANT TO MOVE TO THE BEACH NEXT YEAR.
Thank you for sharing your story, Brock? Where is your hometown? Appreciate your kind support to this channel. All the best :)
@@ArtThomyaJourney I WAS BORN IN OAKLAND CALIFORNIA, MY DAD WAS A NAVAL OFFICER. SHORTLY AFTER I WAS BORN WE MOVED TO THE IMPERIAL VALLEY, IT'S EAST OF SAN DIEGO ABOUT 130 MILES . MY MOM SAID SHE THOUGHT SHE DIED AND GONE TO HELL. WE SETTLED 10 MILES EAST OF THE SMALL TOWN NAMED HOLTVILLE. EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T LIVED THERE FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS IT WILL BE HOME.
I HAVE A RETIREMENT VISA AND PLAN TO LIVE IN THAILAND UNTIL I DIE. I LOVE THAILAND.
I miss the old music
Thanks for watching, Michael 😊🙏 Do you mean the title song (named ‘Anyone’) I use in some of my videos, right?
@@ArtThomyaJourney I think so, it gave thw videos a unique feel.
The current song is still good but I think the old song is needed at some point in the video to give it that authentic art thomya feel lol.

@@mtvisionary Thank you so much for your kind feedback. :)
I can read the book becuase it a cambodia word
Great! What does it say?
Thais carries over Khmer cultures and bloodline much more than the present cambodians.
I can read it too. It's Pali words but written in Khmer. So I don't know the meaning cuz I dont study ancient Indian Pali language.

There ain't no such thing as "Khmer Empire" dude. The Khoms were actually Siamese.

You should thank Siam. If it is in Cambodia it will be lost not left for you to see.
This is old khmer land
I agree
And it was Funan land before Khmer land
@@ProdbyLexx2Sev Yes and Khmer is well documented as being Chenla from south Vietnam, a people who came to live under the Funan, we simply have no surviving records what the Funan called themselves, but they were probably related to the Nagaland headhunter people since legends of them being Naga. The Naga and Thai are related, both were originally hilltribes of Yunnan. Khmer are not native to the area and rebelled against Funan.
The correct spelling is Norkoraj or Ankoraj not Korat
We spell โคราช Khoraj but pronounced as Khorat. In Thai "j" when placed at the back it will sound "t"
3:28 តើអ្នកឆ្ងល់ទេ ហេតុអ្វីជាអក្សរខ្មែរ???
Its the prove that Khmer was defeated and ruled by Siam. Anything from the ancient civilization was well preserved under Siam. You should thank Thai people. Otherwise it won't be there for you to see and chngol.
All that Temple in Thailand is All Khmer Empire Temple 🇰🇭😭

That's history as long as they preserved and integrated Khmer culture into there's. Unlike when Western countries have conquered countries they wipe out and rewrite history. Khmer also adopted there culture from Hindus.

You can not have Som Tum without Pad Mi Korat, this is so wrong you guys! Next time you should try Som Tum Korat and Pad Mi Korat together.
Yoo...man,
