Buri Ram Province From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Buri Ram is one of the north-eastern provinces (changwat) of Thailand. Neighboring provinces are (from south clockwise) Sa Kaeo, Nakhon Ratchasima, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham and Surin. To the south-east it borders Oddar Meancheay of Cambodia. Like many of Isan provinces, it was once part of a great Khmer Empire, as evident in the Khmer ruins and large population of ethnic Khmers. The name Buri Ram means City of happiness (The Thai word Buri is a derivative of the Khmer word Borey). |

Geography Buriram is located at the southern end of the Khorat Plateau, with several extinct volcanoes around the province. |

History Buri Ram was a settlement from the Khmer empire, and many ruins from that time are still visible there. The biggest of them on an extinct volcano is protected in the Phanom Rung historical park. |
