Isan/North eastern Thailand, Geographic region in northeastern Thailand
The Khorat Plateau defines this agricultural territory spanning 167,718 square kilometers, bordered by the Mekong River and comprising 20 distinct provinces.
Archaeological findings at Ban Chiang reveal settlements dating to 2000 BC, indicating early farming communities that developed advanced bronze-working techniques.
The region maintains strong connections to Lao heritage through its music, particularly mor lam performances, and food preferences centered on sticky rice.
Despite occupying one-third of Thailand's land area, the region generates 11.5 percent of national GDP, with agriculture as the primary economic activity.
Local farmers launch homemade rockets during the Bun Bungfai festival to signal the start of the monsoon season and request adequate rainfall.
