Only you can decide if you want to risk it or not but the rider should at least provide a helmet. Meter-taxis are a fairly new introduction to the Korat roads. They are blue and yellow in colour and scarce in number. If you are lucky enough to see one for hire on the street then you can hail it as you would a Bangkok taxi.
It is 30 baht for the first kilometre and 4 baht a kilometre after that. Furthermore, you can't book one in advance as you can with a minicab. You just have to call when you want one and hope that one is available. It should be added that the operator doesn't speak English so get your hotel receptionist to call.
They do congregate at the main bus station and if you catch one from here then the meter should be used. Again, don't expect the driver to speak English. Grab app can be used to hail taxis and motorbike taxis online - not particularly cheap in Khorat, e.
The traditional pedal-powered 'samlor' literally, 'three wheels' is a large tricycle with room for, at a squeeze, two passengers who sit on a covered, padded seat behind the rider. These days there are far more tuk-tuks and motorcycle taxis than samlors but you can still find them dotted along most major roads. You'll notice that all samlor operators are elderly men so don't get them to take you halfway across the city!
A kilometre or so is a more appropriate distance and it will only cost you 20 baht. Songthaews are the most popular type of public transportation. A songthaew is a pick-up truck which has been converted into a small short-hop bus. Passengers step into the back of the truck and sit on parallel benches.
When you want to get off just press the buzzer and hand your fare through the passenger window to the driver. You can get on one anywhere by hailing it from the side of the road although there are official bus stops complete with signs displaying which number songthaew s stop there. They usually only stop when a passenger presses the buzzer or when a pedestrian hails one but there are a few locations where they will always stop such as mhe mall, Klang Plaza, and Big C.
Each songthaew follows a fixed route a different system to that which is used in Chiang Mai, for example and there are around twenty different routes which cover most roads in the city. The vehicles come in a variety of colours and numbers, each denoting a different route. Most have their route number prominently displayed on a board above the window. Some start as early as and run as late as , but generally speaking it is rare to see one before and very rare to see one much after For the newcomer, using songthaews can seem quite daunting as nearly all the destinations are written in Thai on the front and side of the vehicle and you need to know that the songthaew you are getting on hasn't just stopped at the place where you want to go.
For example, you might be waiting outside the front of the mall wanting to go to the zoo. Along comes a songthaew with 'Korat Zoo' written on the side. You understandably jump on the back of the vehicle, however, in that situation, the songthaew is coming from the zoo and is heading into the centre of the city. Most songthaews go back the way they came, so it is usually pretty straightforward getting back to where you departed from: just cross the road and get one going back the other way.
For the benefit of the traveller, it seems unnecessary to describe every route you're unlikely to go day-tripping to the Suranaree Industrial Zone incidentally, it's a number 5, white with luminous orange stripe if you do need to go there!
The current fare is 8 baht for a single journey that's right, 8 baht! Nakhon Ratchasima has the usual Thai mix of modern department stores, malls and supermarkets; large covered day markets; night markets and smaller street markets. All are easily reached by public transport.
Some of the markets may take a bit more finding but are always well worth the effort. The sights, sounds and smells in a Thai market can make your head spin but they are a "must-do" if you've never experienced them before. All the modern malls are open seven days a week. Most small, independent shops are open at least six days a week and often seven. Remember, this isn't Pattaya or Bangkok, though.
Most small shops close at eight at the latest and roads which are busy, shopping thoroughfares by day can be almost deserted by But don't despair; there are always the night markets! Never let it be said that you can't eat on a budget in Korat.
In the case of the former, you will see the cooked chickens and strips of red meat in a cabinet in front of the restaurant, and they usually just sell the aforementioned three meals.
The other type of restaurant will be able to prepare any Thai meal within reason and, again, 25 baht is usually the starting price. Pad krapao moo spicy minced pork cooked with basil and khanom chin fresh rice noodles served with a spicy sauce and vegetables are particularly popular in Korat. As is pad mee Korat a local, spicier variation on pad Thai. The budget restaurants listed below, therefore, offer something a little different to the khao man gai and kwitiyao eateries which abound on nearly every street.
How low can you go? Budget hotels in Korat start at less than baht, but it's fair to say you get what you pay for. These hotels will be devoid of any facilities and usually just consist of a reception desk with a flight of stairs leading to the rooms above. Must-visits in Nakhon Ratchasima.
