Udon titbit

Post by Drunk Monkey » December 16, 2022, 3:52 pm

Wasnt sure where to post this so started a new thread

Rather surprised to see Udon making the top 3 most populated cities in Thailand ..583,000 ppl.reside here ...only beaten by Bangkok 11.7 mil and Samut Prakarn 1.3 mil ..
I would thought Korat n possibly Chang mai would of been.higher but apparently not.

Not According to Wiki.....

Nakhon Ratchasima (Thai: นครราชสีมา, pronounced [ná(ʔ).kʰɔ̄ːn râːt.t͡ɕʰā.sǐː.māː]) is one of the four major cities of Isan, Thailand, known as the "big four of Isan". The city is commonly known as Korat (โคราช, pronounced [kʰōː.râːt]), a shortened form of its name. It is the governmental seat of the Nakhon Ratchasima province and Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima district. After Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Korat is the third largest city in Thailand.

I reckon the key word in the article is CITY ..ie nai meaung status / inside the city limits population not provincial.population including all.the villages etc.

We had an earlier debate on an unrelated thread on what constitutes a city. In the UK, if they have a cathedral, it's automatically a city. Udon already has a cathedral so good to see the local media catching up.

Dont shoot the messenger .. read the link.i posted ..

I.would of thought Udon was wsy down the list ..but by CITY population maybe not ..Korat is a huge province but what is classed as the city or nai meaung maybe not so.

I have requested that the author of the article linked in the OP provide the source of numbers for his claim.
