Introduction to Prachin Buri Travel Guide
Prachin Buri is a province in Thailand’s east. Nakhon Ratchasima, Sa Kaeo, Chachoengsao, and Nakhon Nayok are neighboring provinces.
The province dates back to the Dvaravati and Lopburi periods, as shown by archaeological relics in the area. These ancient cities are rich in archaeological remains, antiquities, Buddha images, and tools. Later in the Ayutthaya period, the development center was relocated to the bank of the Bang Pakong River. Muang Prachin became a province of Thailand with the breakup of Monthon during the reign of King Rama VI of Bangkok.
