Sarakham, as it is known to its inhabitants, is in a rice-growing area on the southern Khorat plain, straddling the Chi River. Mahasarakham is 475 km northeast of Bangkok and 73 km southeast of Khon Kaen.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The city has long been known as a regional education centre, the so-called “Taxila of Isan” (taking this name from the ancient Hindu centre of learning).[1] It is home to six colleges, as well as Mahasarakham University (MSU) and Maha Sarakham Rajabhat University. Sarakham has the feel of a student town with the younger, more cosmopolitan population much in evidence in the downtown campus area and near MSU’s second campus seven kilometres away at Kham Riang.[2]For a time Mahasarakham ranked with Sisaket as among the poorest cities in Isan. This is changing, partly under the influence of the rapidly growing student population. Today Maha Sarakham possesses two cinemas, a modern department store and market, and branches of major retailers. There has been extensive building, especially on the eastern fringes of the city.[citation needed]Maha Sarakham has no railway station or airport, and the main transport links are via express bus, or by road connections to the airports in Khon Kaen and Roi Et. Recently the road link south was upgraded and is now mainly dual carriageway highway.[citation needed]Climate[edit]Climate data for Mahasarakham (1981\u20132010)MonthJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDecYearRecord high \u00b0C (\u00b0F)38.0(100.4)39.7(103.5)41.7(107.1)43.3(109.9)42.0(107.6)41.2(106.2)38.5(101.3)37.0(98.6)37.2(99.0)37.2(99.0)38.0(100.4)36.7(98.1)43.3(109.9)Average high \u00b0C (\u00b0F)31.4(88.5)33.7(92.7)35.7(96.3)36.8(98.2)35.2(95.4)34.2(93.6)33.6(92.5)33.0(91.4)32.6(90.7)32.2(90.0)31.6(88.9)30.5(86.9)33.4(92.1)Daily mean \u00b0C (\u00b0F)23.7(74.7)25.8(78.4)28.4(83.1)30.1(86.2)29.3(84.7)29.0(84.2)28.6(83.5)28.0(82.4)27.7(81.9)27.1(80.8)25.3(77.5)23.5(74.3)27.2(81.0)Average low \u00b0C (\u00b0F)16.7(62.1)19.7(67.5)22.5(72.5)24.7(76.5)24.9(76.8)24.9(76.8)24.6(76.3)24.3(75.7)23.8(74.8)22.7(72.9)19.9(67.8)16.7(62.1)22.1(71.8)Record low \u00b0C (\u00b0F)7.5(45.5)9.8(49.6)10.4(50.7)18.5(65.3)19.8(67.6)21.5(70.7)15.0(59.0)20.3(68.5)20.5(68.9)15.2(59.4)9.9(49.8)5.3(41.5)5.3(41.5)Average rainfall mm (inches)3.5(0.14)15.0(0.59)51.8(2.04)89.0(3.50)161.5(6.36)177.8(7.00)160.0(6.30)231.9(9.13)240.6(9.47)111.4(4.39)18.1(0.71)3.1(0.12)1,263.7(49.75)Average rainy days1.02.54.57.813.214.115.217.417.09.62.40.8105.5Average relative humidity (%)70676668767879828479737074Mean monthly sunshine hours275.9243.0238.7243.0198.4156.0120.9117.8144.0198.4252.0275.92,464Mean daily sunshine hours8.98.67.78.16.45.23.93.84.86.48.48.96.8Source 1: Thai Meteorological Department[3]Source 2: Office of Water Management and Hydrology, Royal Irrigation Department (sun and humidity)[4]References[edit]External links[edit]Coordinates: 16\u00b010\u203238\u2033N 103\u00b018\u20323\u2033E\ufeff \/ \ufeff16.17722\u00b0N 103.30083\u00b0E\ufeff \/ 16.17722; 103.30083       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/maha-sarakham-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Maha Sarakham – Wikipedia"}}]}]
