KAMPHAENG PHET
On the east bank of the Ping River, Kamphaeng Phet was a satellite town of Sukhothai, an outpost buffer against the Burmese intrusion. Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park features several historic temples within the old walled city, including Wat Phra Kaeo and Wat Phrathat. There's also Kamphaeng Phet National Museum housing sculpted Buddha heads, earthenware and celadon pottery. |
|||
| Slightly to the north, a second portion of the park features more ancient temples, including the large Wat Chang Rop with its myriad elephant heads on a small hill, annd Wat Phra Si Iriyabot, with Buddha images in four attitudes in front of a pond. | ||||
|
In the hills of Khlong Lan and Mae Wong national parks there are fast rivers ideal for rafting, trekking routes, waterfalls and some rock-climbing stations. Camping is popular. |
