Prachin Buri, Province in eastern Thailand
Prachin Buri is a province in eastern Thailand that stretches from flat river valleys to forested mountain ranges along the Cambodian border. More than half the area is woodland, crossed by rivers and farming plains between the highlands.
Khmer rulers controlled the area in the twelfth century, as ruins and stone carvings in several districts show. Later centuries brought Thai migration from the north, establishing new villages and trade routes into Cambodia.
Local cooking combines Isaan recipes with central Thai dishes, visible in many regional markets and street stalls. Farmers grow rice and fruit along the riverbanks while teak and bamboo thrive in the highlands.
The provincial capital offers lodging and starting points for trips to nearby national parks and archaeological sites. Road connections lead to smaller towns and protected areas in the north and east.
Some forest areas host wild elephants occasionally visible on forest trails or near protected area boundaries. Few visitors know that remote temple compounds in the mountains hold small meditation huts for monks.
