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.
Suphan Buri occupies a total area of 5,358 square kilometres and is
administratively divided into 10 districts (Amphoes); Muang Suphan
Buri, Doem Bang Nang Buat, Bang Pla Ma, Si Prachan, Song Phi Nong, Sam
Chuk, U Thong, Don Chedi, Dan Chang and Nong Ya Sai. |
