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