Pak Chong, Administrative district in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
Pak Chong is an administrative district stretching across the Dong Phaya Yen Mountains in Nakhon Ratchasima. The landscape varies between agricultural land and forested terrain, with elevations around 330 meters.
The district grew from a small village surrounded by dense forests into an established administrative area. Construction of the Northeastern Railway in 1898 transformed the region by opening mountain passages and linking it to broader networks.
Local markets display regional food specialties shaped by Thai, Isaan, and Khmer cooking traditions. Dairy farming is deeply rooted in daily life here, with products available throughout the district.
The Mittraphap Road connects Bangkok with the Isan region and serves as the main route through this area. Multiple railway stations along the Northeastern Line provide another travel option for exploring the district and surrounding regions.
This district leads the country in dairy production while serving as the main gateway to the Isan region. Its southern portion encompasses Khao Yai National Park, a large protected area known for its wildlife.
