You can rent some “tubes” and go on the river at Lam Po Dam. Many restaurants are around the river and it a simple and relaxing place.
The location of that place is “16.600484, 103.455826” if you put these numbers on maps.google.com
It is actually near Lam Po Dam in Kalasin. You can see some of the tubes on this video of 2012.
It is a little bit like Wang Nenn in Korat province. A perfect destination to have Som Tam (papaya salad) and Gai Yang (BBQ chicken). Swim, get a tube on the river and you are in paradise!
Only 2 pictures and not very good:

Visitor Tips
Located in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), this is one of the many dining options available to visitors and expats in the Isaan region of Thailand. When visiting restaurants in Korat, it is customary to order several dishes to share. Most restaurants in this area serve both Thai and international cuisine, and staff often speak some English.
Getting There
Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) is located approximately 250 km northeast of Bangkok. You can reach Korat by bus from Bangkok’s Mo Chit terminal (about 3.5 hours), by train from Hua Lamphong station, or by minivan from Chatuchak. Tuk-tuks and songthaews (shared trucks) are the most common local transport within the city.
About Isaan Cuisine
The Isaan region of northeastern Thailand has its own distinct culinary tradition, influenced by Lao and Khmer cultures. Signature dishes include som tam (spicy papaya salad), larb (spiced minced meat salad), sticky rice (khao niao), and grilled chicken (gai yang). Food in Isaan tends to be spicier and more sour than central Thai food, using ingredients like padaek (fermented fish sauce) and fresh herbs.
