Khorat Plateau

Thailand

The Khorat Plateau shares 39 connections with 2405 other places across 10 topics, anchored in natural geography, Khmer history, and prehistoric archaeology. The plateau's connections cluster heavily among neighboring Southeast Asian countries, with Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos each sharing many ties. The Ban Chiang archaeological site on the plateau, a World Heritage site discovered in 1966, provided evidence of bronze making, and the broader region holds some of the earliest known evidence of pottery, metallurgy, and wet rice cultivation in Southeast Asia.
