Kamphaeng Phet Thailand Hotel Travel
Kamphaeng Phet Thailand
Geographically located in the Lower North on the bank of
the Ping River, Kamphaeng Phet is 358 kilometres from Bangkok.
To its East are riverine flatlands while the western areas
are made up of high mountains lush with fertile forests
where a number of national parks have been established.
Areas along the river bank at present-day Mueang district
used to host several ancient towns which had played a major
role as strategic front-line frontiers since Sukhothai was
the kingdom's capital down through the times of Ayutthaya
and early Rattanakosin (Bangkok) eras. In fact, the name
Kamphaeng Phet actually means as strong as walls or forts
make of diamonds.
