Monument of Thao Suranari
Situated at the western gate to Nakorn Ratchasima, this monument
is one of the region's most celebrated places. In late March
or early April, Nakorn Ratchasima is the site of a festival
in tribute to Thao Suranari, or Kuhn Ying Mo, the wife of a
Thai official who successfully staved off an invasion by Lao
soldiers from Vientiane in 1826. This week-long festival is
accompanied by traditional song and dance and draws people from
all over the region. The highlight of this festival is the performance
of the traditional Nakorn Ratchasima song, performed by groups
of hired singers. There are literally hundreds of these groups
for hire, charging between 300-600 baht per performance.
