YWAM Thailand - Helping Thais reach their destiny in Christ



Rice FarmersIsaan is the northeast region of Thailand. It is located on the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River (the Laos border) to the north and east, by Cambodia to the southeast and the Prachinburi mountains south of Nakhon Ratchasima. To the west it is separated from Northern and Central Thailand by the Phetchabun mountain range.

The main language of the region is Isaan, which is a Thai language dialect with strong influence from Laos. Prominent aspects of the culture of Isaan include the indigenous form of folk music, silk production, Muay Thai (Thai boxing), and Isaan food, in which sticky rice and chilies are prominent.

The northeast region of Thailand has a fascinating culture and is unique from other regions within Thailand. The visitor to Isaan will discover the warm and friendly Isaan people, a diverse cultural and historic heritage, and a part of Thailand that is not yet discovered by most tourists.
