About Ratchaburi
Ratchaburi is the land of the Mae Klong Basin civilization. From legend and historical evidence, it is assumed that Ratchaburi used to be one of the civilized kingdoms of Suvarnabhumi in the past, from the reign of the Great King Asoka of India, who proclaimed the Lord Buddha's teachings throughout this land around 325 BCE. The central town of the ruling power of Suvarnabhumi wasNakhon Pathomwhich was called "Dvaravati" at that time. In addition, Ratchaburi was also the meeting point of ancient tradesmen and the gateway to Burma. Thus Ratchaburi is a melange of differing ethnic groups. Ratchaburi is full of many interesting things: history, ruins, ways of life, culture, handicrafts, and mountains. Ratchaburi Province has an area of 5,196 km².
