The railway was built between Phetchaburi and Korat in 1909, but the railway between the two cities wasn’t yet completed. The section between Mongkol Borey and Aranyapratet was unfinished. Japanese forces invaded Thailand on 8 December 1941 and completed the missing link within two weeks. The railway was finally opened on 22 December. The railway connected the two cities with the help of Allied prisoners of war. The Japanese army used the eastern railway as a feeder line, but the severe jungle environment and the floods hampered construction.

The southern route didn’t depart from the main railway station in Bangkok. Instead, it had its terminus at Thonburi. The station building was designed by German architect Karl Siegfried Dohring in Brick Expressionism style. Currently, the only private bus company operating between Nakhon Ratchasima and Korat is Sri Mongkol Transport. Nevertheless, it’s worth considering the bus and ferry services when planning your trip to Korat.
