Korat Webcam and Thailand Webcam

Korat is Thailand’s largest province and the ‘Gateway to Isaan’ . It also has beautiful National Parks, with many forests, mountains, waterfalls, and reservoirs.

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. The area around Korat was already an important center in the times of the Khmer empire in the 11th century, as can be seen by the temple ruins in the Phimai historical park.

At present, this area has a collection of over 10,000 petrified wood pieces. Some are displayed in the garden. Within this compound, petrified wood was unearthed just beneath the surface to 8 metres underground. The wood discovered is of various sizes from pebbles to rocks are aged from 1 to 70 million years old.

The Korat is one of the oldest stable cat breeds.  Originating in Thailand, it is named after the Nakhon Ratchasima province (“Korat” by the Thai people).   In Thailand it is known as Si-Sawat, meaning “Color of the Sawat Seed”.  They are known colloquially as the “Good Luck Cat” and are given in pairs to newlyweds for good luck. Until recently, Korats were not sold, but only given as gifts. Webcam Korat and more webcam in Thailand.
