Surin Elephant Roundup NORTHEASTERN THAILAND Northeastern Thailand is commonly known as Isan. Isan is one of Thailand’s most intriguing destinations with many Stone Age and Bronze Age dwellings and artifacts, and several signiﬁcant temples that are a legacy of the Khmer empire. Khmer prasathin (sandstone shrines) are popular tourist attractions, particularly the restored sites at the historical parks of Phimai in Nakhon Ratchasima and Phanom Rung in Buri Ram. Isan’s culture is predominantly Lao, and has much in common with neighborNamtok Huai Luang ing Laos. The language of the region is Isan (similar to Lao), but Thai is also widely spoken. The traditional dress of Isan is the sarong; women’s sarongs usually feature an embroidered border at the hem, while men’s are in a checked pattern. The northeast is the least-visited region of Thailand, but this gives it a charm all its own. Prominent aspects of the culture of Isan include mor lam folk music, Muay Thai boxing, and sticky rice, which accompanies almost every meal. crafts, such as silk and cotton products, bronze-ware and basketry.

The high plateau of Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary comprises forest and savannah, and is famous for its wild orchids.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is where the world’s oldest Bronze Age civilization ﬂourished some 5,600 years ago. Of special interest is red and white pottery thought to be the ﬁrst earthenware vessels known to humankind, decorated in ﬁngerprint designs. An open-air, on-site museum set up around the archaeological digs presents exhibits and objects from the excavation. You can also visit the colorful Sanjao Pu-Ya Chinese Temple, and stop into the Udon Thani Provincial Museum to brush up on the region’s history and culture.
