Prathai, Administrative district in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand
Prathai is an administrative district in Nakhon Ratchasima comprising 13 sub-districts that blend urban and agricultural areas. The territory includes urban centers, farmland, and around 151 villages managed through multiple administrative organizations.
The area developed from an ancient Khmer military settlement whose name comes from the Khmer word for camp. It gained official district status in 1963.
Residents practice traditional farming methods for rice, sugar cane, and fruit cultivation through community cooperatives. Agricultural work shapes daily life and reflects how generations preserve local knowledge.
Visitors can explore the central administrative center and travel through surrounding rural areas by road. Renting a vehicle is helpful for reaching the scattered sub-districts and villages spread across the territory.
The territory sits at a junction connecting to eight neighboring districts, making it a natural transit point between different parts of northeastern Thailand. This position gives it a strategic role in linking various areas of the region.
