Why go, and how to do it well

This is where Korat goes to walk off the day. A big lake ringed with trees, paths for jogging and cycling, and a few simple cafes and food stalls if you want a cold drink halfway round. Nothing is staged for tourists here, which is the appeal. You get families, runners and cyclists sharing the same loop while the heat finally lets go.

I'd treat it as an evening thing rather than a sightseeing stop. There's no temple to photograph and no entry ritual, just a pleasant circuit under shade with the water on one side. If you're in the city for a couple of nights and want an hour that isn't a mall or a market, this does the job. Skip it if you're only passing through and short on time, because it's a local rhythm more than an attraction.
