Kamphaeng_Phet

Kamphaeng Phet Province , Located just 80 km to the south of Sukhothai and its sister city of Si Satchanalai are the undisturbed ruins of the once important city of Kamphaeng Phet. Along with the other two, it has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, although it remains rather less known and visited.

Kamphaeng Phet (Diamond Wall), established in the mid 14th century by King Li Thai, played the role of a defensive town for Sukhothai during a threat of conflict with neighbouring states. A 6m high defensive wall and accompanying moat laid the last line of defence for the enclosed city.

To the north of the old city, the serene forested region of Arunyk was reserved as a place for meditation. Monks from Sri Lanka resided in the forest retreat and their influences can be seen in many of the forest's temples.

Having been seemingly ignored by tourists, who have flocked to the more legendary sites at Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, Kamphaeng Phet has lacked the attention it somewhat deserves. The unkempt ruins covered in moss and surrounded with flowers and weeds, unlike well-manicured Sukhothai, accentuate the attractiveness of the historical park.
