If you’re after a day-trip destination, we know just the place. Sitting 45 miles away, Surin is worth hopping in the car for. Surin Plaza, Phraya Surin Phakdi Si Narong Changwang Monument and Ban Tha Sawang Silk Weaving Village alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Nakhon Ratchasima, 55 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Centralplaza Nakhon Ratchasima. (But we’re also huge fans of 80th Birthday Stadium and Terminal 21 Korat.)
