Although not the most exciting place in Thailand, Buriram has its own rural charm. This northern town is quite a bit cooler than most of Thailand and a great way to explore the area is by hiring a bicycle and simply cycling away.
Buriram Province is steeped in history and many visitors head straight to Phanom Rung Historical Park, which is located about 40kms south of the city. There are also a number of interesting temples and other buildings to explore.
Travel to Buriram - Getting There
