Korat
Korat may refer to several topics, including a city in Thailand, a breed of cat, or other uses. The most common references are to the city of Nakhon Ratchasima, colloquially known as Korat, and the Korat cat breed. This article will provide an overview of both, as well as touch on other uses of the term.
Korat (City)[edit | edit source]
Korat is the informal name for Nakhon Ratchasima, a major city in the northeast region of Thailand, also known as Isan. It is the capital of Nakhon Ratchasima Province and serves as an administrative, economic, and cultural hub. The city's history dates back to the 17th century during the Ayutthaya Kingdom period, playing a significant role in the history of Thailand, especially during the reign of King Narai. Korat is known for its historical sites, such as the Phimai Historical Park, which contains some of the most important Khmer ruins in Thailand. The city is also a gateway to the northeastern region of the country, making it a pivotal area for transportation and commerce.
Korat (Cat)[edit | edit source]
The Korat is a breed of domestic cat known for its silver-blue coat, green eyes, and heart-shaped face. Originating in Thailand, the Korat is one of the oldest stable cat breeds. According to Thai tradition, the Korat is considered a good luck charm, and they are often given in pairs to brides on their wedding day. The breed is known for its strong bonding with humans, playful nature, and high intelligence. Korats are relatively rare outside of Thailand but have a dedicated following of breed enthusiasts worldwide.
Other Uses[edit | edit source]
The term "Korat" may also refer to other less common uses, such as geographical locations, military terms, or cultural references. However, without specific details, these are not elaborated upon in this article.
