Thailand, the small province of Maha Sarakham is considered to be
a regional education
centre, earning the name "Taksila of Isan" (Taksila was
a city where education of all branches centered around in ancient
India). The province also houses a sacred Buddha image and has many
historical sites, with the province being the former site of the

hand woven silk and cotton fabrics are sought after for their original
patterns.
