Buriram Province

[Braveheart]

Buri Ram (Thai: บุรีรัมย์) is one of the north-eastern provinces (changwat) of Thailand. To the south-east it borders Oddar Meancheay of Cambodia.

 

Like many of Isan provinces, it was once part of a great Khmer Empire, as evident in the Khmer ruins and large population of ethnic Khmers. The name Buri Ram means City of happiness ( The Thai word Buri is a derivative of the Khmer word Borey ). Buriram is located at the southern end of the Khorat Plateau, with several extinct volcanoes around the province.

 

Buri Ram was a settlement from the Khmer empire, and many ruins from that time are still visible there. The biggest of them on an extinct volcano is protected in the Phanom Rung historical park.

 

42% of the population speak Khmer.

 

The provincial seal shows the Phanom Rung sandstone castle, a Hindu shrine of the Shivaite sect. The monument was in use from the 9th till the 12th century when the Khmer Empire was overthrown from Ayutthaya. It is now a historic park.

The provincial flower is the Yellow Cotton Tree (Cochlospermum regium), and the provincial tree is the Pink Shower (Cassia grandis).

 

The province is subdivided into 21 districts (Amphoe) and 2 minor districts (King Amphoe). The districts are further subdivided into 189 communes (tambon) and 2212 villages (muban).

I note that my favorite girls in Pattaya come from Buriram.

[chrisbrewer]

Same for me.

 

The girl I stayed with for 11 days on my last trip was from Buriram.

 

 

I thought it was Bulilam until I looked on a map.

 

Do they all have blue fingernails in Buriram?

woody you've got to do something about that keyboard. Everytime I read one of your posts I burst out laughing.

[otherway]

This was the place of my biggest mistake in my relationships with Thai women.

 

There is a hill with a golden Bhuddah just outside the town.

 

It as on a visit there that resulted in the most embarrasing moment of my life.

I have posted it before in full on three boards. I dont know why I told people. But most were sympathetic.

 

You couldnt make it up.

 

I havnt kept copies. But if anyone wants to know about the day I was lost in Issan. I could be persuaded.
