| This
small, agricultural province is sandwiched between the
Cambodian boarder and Bangkok. Home to many ruins from
the Dvaravati and Khmer periods, the province is also
well known for its national parks of Khao Yai, Thap Lan
and Pang Sida, which together cover over 3,000 square
kilometres and make up the largest protected area in Thailand. |

| Thap
Lan contains many plants from the palm family, especially
the talipot palms whose leaves were used for Buddhist
manuscripts. Further south, reservoirs provide holy water
used in many Thai coronation ceremonies. |
| |
| Wat
Kaeo Phichit is an old temple, unusually combining Thai
and Greek arts, while the oldest Buddha footprints can
be found at Sa Morokot. |
