Prachinburi

Prachin Buri is a province in central Thailand, east of Bangkok. The rural temple Wat Ton Pho Si Maha Pho is home to the province’s symbol, a giant Bodhi tree believed to be more than 2,000 years old. The nearby Si Mahosot Archaeological Site encompasses the remains of an ancient city dating to the 6th century. White-water rafting on the Sai Yai River’s Kaeng Hin Phoeng rapids is popular during the rainy season.The province is divided into two major parts, the low river valley of the Bang Pakong River, and the higher lands with plateaus and mountains of the Sankamphaeng Range, the southern prolongation of the Dong Phaya Yen mountains. In those areas are also two national parks, Khao Yai and Tab Larn National Park.
