Buriram – Destination of Speed

From Khon Kean to Maha Sarakham to Buriram ... have to say there was not much that will remain in my memory for this leg since there was not much things to see nor do. After a while, one city looks like another city especially since I had not left the region, hence big contrast was hard to distinguish.

Buriram however was where I started to see some contrast and miniature uniqueness when one stop and observed a little. For one ... I notice a lot of the cars & motorbike had Buriram United stickers on them.

I had time to relax but somehow even with the whole month in Isaan region I have been on the run and barely have much to remember of the journey. Its weird but I guess that’s Thailand somehow in a way. Always moving. Its very different from Laos where there was not much to see in between travel. I’ll be sitting in one place somewhere in Laos for a week and somehow time flies even though there is no cinema nor any other kind of entertainment.

Khaokradong Volcano Forest Park – Buriram

Apart of Buriram being a bustling town with lots of food and shops to resupply anything I could think of, there was some sight to have a look around nearby the city. One of which is Khaokradong Volcano Forest Park. As grand as the name sound, it basically is an old mount that use to be a volcano. Lovely park to pass time and at the top of the mount there is a big Buddha overlooking Buriram. Isaan sure is flat ...

Chang International Circuit – Destination of Speed

Most tourism started in Buriram due to the motorsports event kicking off every year in the state. The Thailand Motorcycle Grand Prix. When not racing or training, locals can take their ride in there for a spin.

Prasat Mueang Tam & Phanom Rung Historical Park

About an hour ride from Buriram City is where an ancient Khmer style temple ruin lies preserved as a tourist and historical attraction. I have started to develop immunity hence after seeing so many of these type of temple ruins, it has become a routine in a way, heading there and walking around silently absorbing the beauty but never lingering longer than an hour before I move on to the next place.
