The Khorat Geopark encompasses conservation and tourism areas within the Lam Ta Khong Basin, covering the districts of Sikhio, Sung Noen, Kham Thale So, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima, and Chaloem Phra Kiat in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. This region is uniquely defined by its prominent cuesta landscapes and a rich abundance of fossils. These exceptional finds include petrified wood, diverse mammals, dinosaurs, and contemporary fauna, all intricately linked to the sandstone geological formations. The geopark also boasts a significant dry dipterocarp forest and dry evergreen forest ecosystem, alongside a human history spanning over 4,000 years. It is aptly known as the "Land of Cuestas and the World Paleontopolis." Khorat Geopark actively promotes community-based tourism management, with local products and services developed to narrate the geopark's compelling stories. The entire territory holds unique geological, natural, cultural, and intellectual heritage significance. The geopark's office is located at the Khorat Fossil Museum, which houses fossil exhibits and serves as the information center for Khorat Geopark.
