is there anywhere in Korat i can get some reasonably priced silk at good prices.

thanks for that Saf.

roughly how far from Korat

thanks thaiga

About 20 minutes from The Mall by car.

Visit Top Cafe - what a good idea! If you go during a quiet spell the boss might show you the best places herself. Better still, come while the Silk Festival is still on and she might walk you around the silk booths and introduce you to her various friends in the trade. The last day is 15th, Thursday.

Top Cafe has some of the best food I've tasted in Thailand.  Do check it out of you're in the area.

thanks again Saf

but i drive for a living and have to tolerate idiot's on the road every day of the week so don't fancy driving in Thailand. so will have to catch a bus. guess it wouldn't be much by taxi either.

i plan to be in Thailand early Jan till middle of Feb.

The bus, if you don't want to drive. A taxi will get you to PTC but there are none based here. Even a tuk tuk is a rare sight. Go to the old bus station in Korat. The buses to PTC stop right in town. They usually report to the owner who lives near to Top Cafe so you might even be able to get a bus to the entrance.
