Ratchaburi has a long and interesting history and the area has hosted a succession of different civilisations over the past two to three thousand years. The province’s most notable historical site is Wat Mahathat Worawihan in Ratchaburi Town. Wat Mahathat Worawihan was established at some point during the 10th or 11th Centuries by the people of the Khmer Empire of Cambodia and is one of the longest continuously functioning temples in Thailand. Wat Mahathat Worawihan has been extensively rebuilt over the past thousand years, however, the temple’s large Khmer style prangs remain the temple’s most distinctive feature.
