Must-see places in Kamphaeng Phet: Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park (อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์) My rating: 5/5! It's divided into two parts: one with Wat Phra That and Wat Phra Kaew with its three large Buddhas, and another in the forest with numerous temple ruins. It's THE must-see in Kamphaeng Phet!

Other places worth seeing in Kamphaeng Phet: Wat Phra Kaew is the most impressive temple because of its two Buddhas, in front of which sits a reclining Buddha. They are featured in all the tourist brochures. Wat Phra Si Ariyabot (or Si Iriyabot) is the second most interesting temple in the historical park, as it has an almost completely preserved standing Buddha. Wat Singh is located in the second part of the historical park (Arunyik area), directly behind Wat Phra Si Ariyabot. There, a seated Buddha stands in the center, and another is in a small building at the back. Wat Kru Si Hong is a small temple completely nestled in the forest – which is precisely why we like it. Wat Ku Yang is charming with its small wooden building on stilts over a pond, where Buddhist scriptures and books were kept and protected from rats and termites. Wat Bang is located in the town of Ratchadamnoen and is only interesting because of its red Buddha sculpture. Wat Phra Non is the first temple in the Arunyik area and essentially consists of the main building and a chedi. Wat Thep Molee houses a large U-Thong-style Buddha from the Ayutthaya period. Villagers believe it possesses great powers, such as the ability to stop rain.

Other excursion tips in Kamphaeng Phet: The Kamphaeng Phet National Museum houses artifacts and statues from the region (open Wednesday to Sunday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm – Tel.: 055 711 570) and the adjacent Provincial Museum.

It is open daily from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (Tel.: 055 722 341). The City Pillar Shrine is highly revered and not particularly noteworthy in itself. However, if you walk from one area of ​​the Historical Park to another, you will almost certainly see it. Khlong Lan National Park, 65 km from Kamphaeng Phet, is known for its numerous waterfalls. We can stay here in bungalows with fans (information: on the website – Tel.: 055 766 425). The ancient city of Nakhon Chum lies a few kilometers from Kamphaeng Phet and is interesting for its few remaining city walls and numerous temples, of which only scant ruins survive. Accommodation is available if needed. The hot springs of Phra Ruang, 13 km from the city, have water temperatures ranging from 40 to 65 degrees Celsius. Several bathing facilities are available.
