Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima

Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima district spans 755 square kilometers across the Khorat plateau, encompassing 25 sub-districts with 243 villages at 185 meters above sea level.

The district evolved from the merging of Mueang Sema and Mueang Khorakha Pura cities during King Narai's reign, establishing a northeastern frontier stronghold in the Ayutthaya period.

The district preserves Thai-Isan traditions through local festivals, traditional markets, and the presence of ancient stone carvings that reflect the region's Khmer heritage.

The district connects to Bangkok via rail and road networks, while containing multiple municipalities, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities serving over 450,000 residents.

The Lam Takhong River flows through the district, supporting agricultural activities and providing water resources to its twenty-five administrative subdivisions.
