Kamphaeng Phet

Kamphaeng Phet might be small, but its magnificent history has made this under the- radar province worth an intentional visit. The tree-lined historical park was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site making it a wonderful destination of well-preserved history. Its features are the beautiful architectural blends of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya periods uniquely built with laterite first and then bricks, showcasing the city in transition. Back in 1906, King Rama V the Great visited Kamphaeng Phet’s Historical Park and its spectacular sites inspired the King His Majesty in several of his royal proses and poems. The center stage – Wat Phra Kaeo – flanked by lions was highly praised by the King who helped preserve this portion of Siam’s glorious past and put Kamphaeng Phet on the world’s map of great destinations.
