Just a hundred kilometres away from
Bangkok, Suphan Buri is an ancient town rich in natural and historical
heritage. The province was once an important border town involving
battles and important wars during the period of the Ayutthaya
kingdom. So, today, travelling around the province is like
drifting through historical novels. Historical evidence leads you
to travel to the past such as Don Chedi Monument, Wat Khao Khuen whose
abbot played a significant role in Thai history, U Thong National
Museum, etc. Furthermore, various natural wonders such as Phu
Toei National Park, Bueng Chawak Aquarium, as well as the famous
local-style cake Sali Suphan always impress visitors.
