Come to think of it, these 3 from Simon complex were all from Korat too…..maybe that’s why they got along so well. I love Thai community spirit! 

When they say ''they come from Korat'' most actually mean they come from the surrounding villages circa 100kms away lol

Yes, I think they mean they come from Korat Province, not necessarily Korat City.

Yes I have found this to be very true I have contacted many girls Thai friendly and Thai flirting that say they are in Korat. I guess they are but like you say nowhere near the city. Out in the villages.

I know what you mean but the province is Nakhon Ratchasima, there is no such thing as Korat province, only Korat city. 

I think you are wrong on this. Korat is used instead of Nakhon Ratchasima both in relation to the city AND the province.

Go forth and Google if you think that isn't so! 😃

Sorry to say, but this does sound logical. If a 20 letter name is reduced to a short nickname, why not for both city & province? 
 

Anyway, let’s just appreciate Larry’s photography and admit whatever the name means……..90% of BM have shared a bed with a lady from there

And the other 10% are liars

Ain't so Baz. I have a big house there and when you go anywhere for local government stuff its Nakhon Ractchasima immigration, Tax, Revenue etc. Plus the clincher... I know you're not a football fan but big local team are Nakhon Ratchasima Tigers. Big rival to Buriram and decent team. Korat is the city and the girls always say Korat when asked.

Basically the name of the local city as said most live way outside massive province.

The city is commonly known as Korat, a shortened form of its name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakhon_Ratchasima

 

Nakhon Ratchasima (Thai: นครราชสีมา, pronounced [ná(ʔ).kʰɔ̄ːn râːt.t͡ɕʰā.sǐː.māː], often called Khorat (Thai: โคราช, pronounced [kʰōː.râːt])) (alternate spelling Korat) is one of Thailand's seventy-six provinces

Something that I hadn't thought about before, but all provinces are named by their original main city.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Thailand#Governance

"The provinces are named by their original main city, which is not necessarily still the most populous city within the province today. Also, in several provinces the administration has been moved into a new building outside the city."

“Not necessarily” part is actually true I thought…..isn’t Hat Yai the only biggest city that breaks the rule? 74/75 is 100% for me

When I lived on Koh Lanta back in '06, one of my Thai lovelies (for more than a ST/LT) was from Korat. She referred to it in conversation as "my country."

She was a bit of a scoundrel, but we had fun. Here she is on the beach at Koh Phi Phi.
