Description: |
|
Located 77 km from Sukhothai, Kamphaeng Phet attracts far fewer
visitors. Nevertheless its Historical Park also worth a visit
especially for the 3 Buddha of Wat Phra Kaew. UNESCO World
Heritage since December 12, 1991, this large park in the forest
adjacent to the city contains many temple remains. It is a good
place for cycling around and a good introduction to Sukhothai
visit although its temple are in lot poorer condition. History
and temples fan will also add Si Satchanalai to the program. The
Kamphaeng Phet city, whose name means diamond wall has few
monuments to visit: two museums devote to objects and statues
found in the area and its history and the remains of its
fortifications (walls and forts). But the city has this quiet
and friendly atmosphere of small tourist towns. Great efforts
have been made since 2011 to promote and attract visitors here.
Today mostly are Thai. There are also more and more tours
offering to visit both Sukhothai and Kamphaeng Phet. The Ping
River banks where the night market stands are nice. There are
quality and cheap accommodation but they are not numerous and
pretty far from the Historical Park. The remains of the
Sukhothai period are very numerous in the area. Outside of the
city, near the Bus Terminal in particular. The region also have
several national parcs and hilltribes. Kamphaeng Phet is a nice
and relaxed step to discover history of Thailand. You may
surprise yourself by staying several days seduced by the
atmosphere and the desire to ride among the temples over again. |
