Buriram is a town in Thailand, the capital of Buriram Province, located about 300 km northeast of Bangkok. Known as the 'city of happiness,' it has a population of around 200,000. The town has a rich history, once being part of the Khmer Empire, and has significant ruins such as the Phanom Rung Historical Park.

The local economy is primarily agricultural, focusing on rice and cassava. Tourism has yet to significantly impact the area. Language-wise, central Thai, Lao, and Khmer are spoken.

In sports, Buriram is home to football club Buriram United F.C. and Chang International Circuit, an FIA Grade I certified circuit suitable for Formula One racing. The city aims to become a hub for sports.

Education facilities in Buriram range from pre-primary to university level, including Buriram Rajabhat University. The town is striving to make a name for itself, leveraging its sports infrastructure and embracing its unique heritage and cultural identity.

With that said, there’s really nothing to do here. I’m just here to go to immigration on Wednesday to renew my 1-year Education visa.
