About Travel to Ratchaburi
Located about 100 km by road to the South West of Bangkok, Ratchaburi Province has plenty of points of interest for visitors. By far the most popular attractions in Ratchaburi are its three floating markets: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Amphawa Floating Market and Tha Kha Floating Market. Floating markets, which were once common in the Central Region of Thailand which has lots of canals, had largely disappeared by the 1960s. However, in the 1970s Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was promoted by the Tourist Authority of Thailand as a tourist attraction and has grown since then to become very popular with both foreign and Thai visitors. There are now many floating markets in Thailand, however, the largest and best floating markets are still the ones in Ratchaburi Province.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in RatchaburiRatchaburi Town itself has one major tourist attraction, Wat Mahathat Worawihan, the other major attractions in the area are located some distance away from the town centre.
Wat Mahathat Worawihan is one of Thailand’s oldest functioning temples having been established in the 10th or 11th Century. The temple features a wide range of different architectural styles having been rebuilt and added to on numerous occasions over the last 1,000 years. These different architectural styles reflect the different regimes which controlled Ratchaburi over the last millenium and this the sense Wat Mahathat Worawihan records the history of the province through the art and architecture of the temple buildings and statues of the Lord Buddha.
Ratchaburi has two famous caves. Khao Bin Cave, 25 km to the West of Ratchaburi, features eight chambers of stalagmites and stalactites. Also popular are the caves near Wat Khao Chong Phran. You can’t walk into these caves but you can visit at sunset to see vast numbers of bats fly out from the caves. Wat Khao Chong Phran is located 30 km to the North of Ratchaburi.
Other attraction in Ratchaburi include Wat Nong Hoi Park, which features a hilltop view point that you can reach by car, and Muang Khu Bua Ancient Ruin. Muang Khu Bua Ancient Ruin is the remnants of a large settlement which existed from the 6th to 11th Century. Muang Khu Bua Ancient Ruin is close to a large themed market where the vendors dress in the type of clothing the former residents of this ancient town are believed to have worn.
