Buri Ram (Thai: บุรีรัมย์ - "City of Happiness") is a town (thesaban mueang) in Thailand, capital of the Buri Ram Province, about 410 km northeast of Bangkok. The town covers the whole tambon Nai Mueang of Mueang Buriram district. As of 2005 it has a population of 28,333.
[edit] Economy
The town is located on the northeastern railway line, and also has a regional airport, Buriram Airport. Much of the local economy is still agricultural and the tourist industry that is a prominent feature in much of the rest of the country has yet to make a significant impact. Key agricultural crops include rice and cassava. The main languages spoken in Buriram are Central Thai, Lao, and Khmer.
