Nakhon Si Thammarat, the second largest province in the
south, lies 780 kilometers south of Bangkok. Nakhon Si Thammarat is
one of the most ancient cities in Thailand. The city is a mix of
dreary modern Thai buildings and Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu temples,
remnants of the international influences that created this city.
With the fall of the Siamese capital of Ayutthaya in 1767 it
regained independence, but returned to its allegiance on the
founding of Bangkok. In the 17th century British, Portuguese and
Dutch merchants set up factories there and carried on an extensive
trade. |

Surathani is the largest province of the South. Surat Thani
is also known as “the province of a thousand islands” -- many of
which lay off the coast in the Gulf of Thailand, including the
archipelago that contains Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, and the
Mu Koh Ang Thong Marine National Park. Today Surat Thaini is a
important export region for coconuts, rubber and rambutan (a red,
hairy, delicious fruit that you definitely should try). For most
people Surat Thani will be a stopping off point before boarding the
ferry to Koh Samui, or travelling further south. |
