Buriram Travel Information

Originally called 'Nakhon Roi Prang' (Hundred Prang City), the province boasts of having the most Khmer stone sanctuaries, most of which are concentrated in the southern part, with magnificent Phanom Rung Stone Sanctuary being a popular tourist attraction and the most beautiful example of Khmer architecture in Thailand. And no wonder, since this province bordering present day Cambodia was once a prosperous Khmer city. The modern name of Buri Ram means 'city of peace'. It is one of the largest and most populated provinces in Isan (the northeastern region).

Buri Ram is 410 kilometres from Bangkok. It has an area of 10,321 square kilometres.
