Raya Grand Hotel

Hotel

The province is located on the western end of the Korat Plateau, separated from the Chao Phraya river valley by the Phetchabun and Dong Phaya Yen mountain ranges. Two national parks are in the province — the Khao Yai in the west and the Thap Lan in the south. Both parks are in the forested mountains of the Sankamphaeng Range, the southern prolongation of the Dong Phaya Yen mountains. Nakhon Ratchasima, or Korat, is a large province on the north eastern plateau and acts as a gateway to other provinces in the Northeast. It is 259 kilometres (161 miles) from Bangkok and has an area of around 20, 494 square kilometres (7, 913 sq mi), making it the biggest Thai province. The province is rich in Khmer culture and has a long history. The area around Khorat was already an important centre in the times of the Khmer empire in the 11th century, as can be seen by the temple ruins in the Phimai historical park. Still, Nakhon Ratchasima Province is one province where there is a sizable Northern Khmer population. A new walled city with a surrounding moat, designated as Nakhon Ratchasima, was built in the seventeenth century by order of the King Narai, as the easternmost command post, guarding the Kingdom's border and supervising its Lao and Cambodian vassals. It continued this duty during the Bangkok Period, although it was seized by deceit during Chao Anuwong of Vientiane's 1826 revolt against the King Rama III of Siam.

Good location, near many restaurant.

Okay for regional hotel but quite far from the town centre.

It ' s ok place. I recomended VIP room. It 's worth for your money.

Hotel rooms are nice clean spacious Breakfast is thai basic which would be ok but whats not ok is all food is cold I not mean not hot its really cold the fried noodles taste from burned old which makes it even worse when its cold. But the good news is just outside the hotel door to your right is a little coffee shop amd you get a decent espresso and Wi-Fi. Overall not a bad hotel but not worth 1000baht a night you can find better value for money in korat. And you need a car in this area of town.

Very cheap room with good quality.

Good place for stay and reception.

Staying here now while participating in Cobra Gold. I don't mind the fact that the hotel is a little run down and all that. It's actually pretty nice for this part of the world. What I don't like is every time we turn in clothes to be cleaned the hotel loses them or returns them to you and mixes your clothes up with someone elses. Oh, yeah, and my first night here a pipe blew up in the bathroom and water went everywhere. No hot water in the bathroom at all.
