Treasures of Ratchaburi

This province by the Mae Klong has more than kilns, water jars and a floating market to earn itself a place in the hearts of culture lovers

Hugging the Mae Klong River banks, 105km southwest of Bangkok, Ratchaburi province is a cultural must-see and has much more than the well-known Damnoen Saduak floating market and water jars with dragon images to offer visitors.

Beautiful panoramic view as seen from Tham Fa Tho cave, over 200 steps up on Khao Ngu mountain range in Ratchaburi. Khao Ngu boasts four Buddhist caves dating to the Dvaravati period (7th-11th centuries).

It is archaeologically and historically significance for being home to pre-historic civilisation dating to about 12,000 years ago and being part of the ancient Dvaravati empire during the 7th-11th centuries.
