Maha Sarakham is located in the heart of Isan, Thailand’s Northeastern Region. With lots of educational institutes, the province is a significant educational centre in the region, earning it the nickname “Taxila of Isan” (Taxila was an ancient learning centre in India). Maha Sarakham is also the Buddhist centre of Isan, as many Buddhist Archaeological artefacts were found here, including a Relic of Lord Buddha in Amphoe Na Dun. Such evidence leads to the theory that the site was once the location of an ancient kingdom dating back over 1,500 years.
