Buri Ram

The province spans 10,080 square kilometers across lower northeastern Thailand, featuring ancient stone temples and extinct volcanoes rising from agricultural plains.

Archaeological findings reveal human settlements from the 6th century, followed by significant Khmer Empire influence with over 60 sandstone sanctuaries built between 10th-13th centuries.

Local artisans maintain traditional silk weaving techniques, particularly the Na Pho Mudmee pattern, which represents generations of textile craftsmanship in the region.

The provincial capital connects to Bangkok through regular flights at Buriram Airport, while an extensive network of highways facilitates ground transportation throughout the region.

The province contains numerous archaeological sites built upon extinct volcanoes, including Phanom Rung Historical Park, which aligns perfectly with the sun during specific dates.
