Buriram Live is an independent English-language guide to Buriram province and the wider Northeast Thailand region.
It exists because Buriram is, in most respects, invisible to the English-speaking internet. A city of 30,000 people with a world-class motorsport circuit, a football club that has dominated Thai football for over a decade, and Khmer temple complexes that rival anything in the region — and almost no quality English-language coverage to be found.
That gap is what this site is trying to fill.
Who’s Behind It
Buriram Live is written and run by a UK-based writer with family roots in the Buriram and Surin border area. Our connection to the region isn’t a travel blogger’s two-week stopover — it’s land, family, and a long-term relationship with a part of Thailand that most visitors never see.
That means the content here comes from genuine knowledge of the area, not recycled listicles scraped from TripAdvisor. When we recommend a hotel, a restaurant, or a transport option, it’s because we have real reasons to recommend it.
What We Cover
Buriram Live covers the full picture of the province:
- Sport — Buriram United FC and MotoGP at Chang Circuit, two world-class sporting venues in an unlikely corner of Isaan
- Temples and history — Phanom Rung, Mueang Tam, and the broader Khmer heritage that runs through this part of Thailand
- Getting here and getting around — practical transport and accommodation guides for visitors
- Rural life — the villages, food, landscape, and slower pace that make Isaan worth knowing beyond its headline attractions
