Nakhon Ratchasima

Nakhon Ratchasima ((タイ語:นครนครราชสีมา), ) or (Khmer: នគររាជសីមា) is one of the four major cities of Isan, Thailand, known as the "Big 4 of Isan". The city is commonly known as Korat (RTGS Khorat, ), a short form of its previous name. It is the capital of the Nakhon Ratchasima Province and Nakhon Ratchasima District. Nakhon Ratchasima is the heart of the Nakhon Ratchasima metropolitan area.
Khorat is at the western edge of the Khorat Plateau. Historically, it has marked the boundary between Lao and Siamese territory. Today it is considered a gateway to the northeast (Isan). Its geographical location is . As of 2010, the municipal area had a population of 142,645.〔(Department of Provincial Administration, Ministry of Interior, Royal Thai Government. 16 August 2010 )〕
== Etymology ==
Archeological evidence suggests that in Sung Noen District, 32 km west of present-day Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat), there were two ancient towns called ''Sema'' ("Bai sema" () are notable artifacts of the Khorat plateau) and ''Khorakapura''. (Pali ''púra'' becomes Sanskrit ''puri'', hence Thai (บุรี, บูรี ) (), all connoting the same as Thai ''mueang'': "city with defensive wall".) Noting that, the real names of the two ancient towns are not known and the names "Sema" and "Khorakapura" were only assigned in the 20th century. The latter name was shortened to ''Nakhon Raj''. (' (นคร) derives from Sanskrit ''nagara'' (), "city"; ' (ราช), from Sanskrit Raj, "sovereign.") The present city name is a portmanteau of ''Nakhon Raj'' and ''Sema''.
The city is commonly known as "Khorat" or "Korat" (Thai: โคราช), which is a short version of the ancient Khmer name "ankor raj".
