About Travel to Nakhon Ratchasima
The train journey from Ayutthaya to Nakhon Ratchasima passes through some of the best scenery on Thailand’s railway network. Of particular note is the mountainous area between Saraburi and Pak Chong, where the train line passes the magnificent hilltop statue of the Lord Buddha at Wat Phrathat Charoentham temple, and the picturesque 13.6 km long Lumtakong Lake before arriving in Nakhon Ratchasima. For this reason it is well worth taking a train from Ayutthaya to Nakhon Ratchasima that completes the journey during daylight hours.

Nakhon Ratchasima Railway Station is located 2 km to the west of the city centre. Nakhon Ratchasima is a large city with around 140,000 permanent residents. The most popular tourist attractions in the area are outside of the city itself. Nakhon Ratchasima is close to some areas of outstanding natural beauty which are popular with tourists, particularly Thai tourists. The city itself has a small number of places of interest to visit including a large zoo, Suan Rak Park and Wat Phra Narai Maharat, part of which is constructed in the centre of a man made lake. Suan Rak Park contains a shrine to Lady Mo who is Nakhon Ratchasima’s most important historical figure. According to legend, Lady Mo led an uprising of local residents to overthrow an army from Laos which had briefly captured the city. Suan Rak Park also contains a range of interesting statues relating to the city’s culture and heritage. For foreign visitors the city’s most popular hotel is the inexpensive Siri Hotel, which is a reasonable walking distance from the railway station for able bodied travellers without heavy luggage.
