Northeast called in Thaiภาคตะวันออกเฉียงเหนือ” The northeastern region is characterized by a split. from the northern and central regions prominently This is because the uplift of the land on the west and south creates a steep edge along the western Petchabun Mountains. The southern part is a steep edge along the San Kamphaeng and Phanom Dong Rak mountain ranges. The central part of this district is characterized by a basin similar to the bottom of a pan called the Korat basin, with the Chi and Mun rivers flowing through.

There are still many open plains, such as Thung Kula Ronghai, Thung Dog Hung, with the Phu Phan Thod mountain range. The long curve tends to the northeast of the region. Beyond the Phu Phan mountain range to the north, there is a low subsidence basin called the Sakon Nakhon Basin, resulting in many areas becoming swamps such as Nong Han Nai in Sakon Nakhon Province, Nong Prajak Nai in Udon Thani Province and Nong Yat Nai in Nakhon Phanom Province.
