Pak Chong is in Southern Isaan.
Pak Chong (Thai: ปากช่อง) is the westernmost district (amphoe) of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand. It is the nearest town serving Khao Yai National Park. It is less than 200 kilometres from Bangkok, making it a very popular base for Thai weekend trippers.
There are few sights in the town itself, which is mainly a food and sleep place serving as a base for Khao Yai National Park.
- Ban Mae Chai Nam. A unique restaurant, very popular with Bangkok Thais. The Central Thai food is excellent and reasonably priced, and the location next to the river is very scenic. The most remarkable aspect is the vast quantity of antiques, objects d'art and kitsch items on display, ranging from old dolls and children's toys to glass and pottery ware to bar paraphernalia, old petrol pumps and in an adjoining building, a range of old motor vehicles. It is a fascinating place. It is hard to find down a narrow soi: Nam 1 Muban Ko Kaeo, off the main road through town. Their website is in Thai only.
