DON'T MISS
PÀT MÈE KOH·RÂHT

One speciality you must try once is pàt mèe koh·râht . It's similar to pát tai, but boasts more flavour and is made
with a local style of rice noodle (mèe koh·râht) . It's widely available in Khorat Province, but very rare every-
where else.

junctions with Th Chainarong is a good bar-hopping district.
