Korat

Are there any expats in the Korat area. I'll be in Korat for a month in November. Anyone wanting to meet up for a beer let me know.

I am not, but I would recommend going a little further east and go to the Surin Elephant festival...if you can get a hotel that is!!

Would agree with Bullfrog, the Elephant Fest. is worth checking out. I went last year and had a blast, one big party and lots of fun.

Well that depends on where in Korat. There is a small group of expats that hang around the main city (Nakhon Ratchasima)...near the Pizza Shop. You can visit Pimai, Thailand's answer to Angkor Wat. Go visit the National Park at Khao Yai. Quite scenic.

 

But to be honest, I tried living there, bored nuts after a little while. The city is big, polluted and driving seems nuttier than Bangkok! Nightlife. Plenty of nice girls with the University, but you will need to go to the Thai disco to meet them, perhaps at the Rachapruk Hotel.

 

I read on Stickman that a GO-GO has opened in Korat.

 

I also tried going off to the 'village', sitting around in the dirt sweating and scratching mosquito bites wasn't fun. But it was nice to meet people who were generous, pleasant and not always scrounging for tips. Just wouldn't want to live there.

Actually I really enjoy going to 'the village' for a few days now and then. I hated it in the beginning

when I sort of had to go for face. I totally catch up on my sleep, drink ALOT of beer and get some of

the best sex because she is soooo happy walking around the place holding my very white hand.
