Visit Chanthaburi
Chanthaburi is a province in Thailand that lies on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, north of Bangkok and near the Cambodian border. It's known for its tropical climate and coastline, as well as its abundance of fruit orchards, idyllic fishing villages, and stunning waterfalls. Tourists can explore historical sites such as Chanthaboon Waterfront Community or Wat Kaeo Takiap Temple. For some relaxation time by the ocean, visitors can check out Puktien Beach or Koh Laoya Island; both offer wonderful views and activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and ATV tours.
An interesting historical fact about Chanthaburi is that it was once part of Cambodia until 1680 when King Narai gifted it to France as a token of appreciation for their assistance in battles against Vietnam. This gift later became part of Siam (present-day Thailand).
