The road from the river and the Wat Bot bridge, leading to Chanthaburi Cathedral, is very beautiful with its colonial houses and grandeur. A short walking tour is recommended, including a visit to a temple on a small hill, a stroll along the street with the Sukhaphiban (a type of temple) and a small tower at the parish house, a café and pastry shop with a terrace overlooking the river, and finally, a visit to the cathedral itself.

Locals call this area Chanthabun Waterfront in English (Chum chan rim Chanthaboon in Thai). Numerous English signs point the way to the cathedral, so you can't get lost.

I advise you to choose accommodation near the Chanthaburi River; you will either be on Sukkhaphiban Road or not far from it.
