Northeast Thailand or Isan consists of 20 provinces in the northeastern region of Thailand. Isan is Thailand's largest region, located on the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River to the north and east, by Cambodia to the southeast and the Sankamphaeng Range south of Nakhon Ratchasima. To the west it is separated from northern and central Thailand by the Phetchabun Mountains. Isan covers 167,718 km2 (64,756 sq mi) making it about half the size of Germany and roughly the size of England and Wales. The total forest area is 25,203 km2 (9,731 sq mi) or 15 percent of Isan's area.
Nakhon Ratchasima is one of Thailand's seventy-six provinces (changwat) lies in lower northeastern Thailand also called Isan.

Neighbouring provinces are Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen, Buriram, Sa Kaeo, Prachinburi, Nakhon Nayok, Saraburi, and Lopburi.

Basilochelys is an extinct genus of land turtle which existed during the early Cretaceous period (Berriasian). Containing the sole species Basilochelys macrobios, its fossils have been found in the Phu Kradung Formation of Northeast Thailand. It is considered to be the most basal member of the group Trionychoidae.
The Early Cretaceous Phu Kradung Formation is the lowest member of the Mesozoic Khorat Group which outcrops on the Khorat Plateau in Isan, Thailand. This geological formation consists of micaceous, brown to reddish-brown siltstone beds with minor brown and grey shale and sandstone beds. Occasional lime-noduled conglomerate occurs.

Phat mi Khorat or Pad mee Korat is a stir-fried rice noodle Thai style dish commonly served with papaya salad in Thailand. Dried rice noodle is a specific ingredient for phat mi Khorat. It is made with dried rice noodle, garlic, shallot, pork, salt soya, beans, fish sauce, palm sugar, red pepper, black soy sauce, water, spring onion and bean sprouts. A dish of phat mi Khorat is thought to have been introduced to Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand, in ancient times. In the past, most people in Nakhon Ratchasima commonly were farmers. They preserved old rice by transforming it to dried rice noodles. In religious ceremonies, phat mi Khorat is served due to the ease of finding ingredients although these versions tend to use ordinary noodles.

The Khorat Group is a stratigraphic group located within the Khorat Plateau in the Isan region of Thailand. It was first defined as the Khorat Series by Brown et al in 1953 and was redefined as the Khorat Group by Ward and Bunnag in 1964, which gave it its current constituent formations as well as including the Nam Phong Formation, which is now excluded from the group. Subsequently the sequence underwent several different stratigraphic proposals with several alternative divisions, but the formations proposed in Ward and Bunnag are the most widely used. Initially thought to be Triassic, the sequence has been show to be of Early Cretaceous in age, Dating from the Berriasian to Aptian. It overlies the Nam Phong Formation and is overlain by the evaporitic deposits of the Maha Sarakham Formation. It consists of continental freshwater deposits largely of alternating sandstones and mudstones. The Group is notable for its fossil content, including those of dinosaurs.
