Sangklaburi "Unseen Thailand" Fantastic Scenery

Hello Friends,

During winter holiday season, the most favourite destinations for travellers nowadays is Pai district in Mae Hong Son which you may face traffic jam along the way from Chaing Mai to Pai. Then, if you want to avoid such problem, i recommend to you one of the city that has similar atmosphere to Pai District and the place i talk about is Sangklaburi in Kanchanaburi province.

Generally, this district is not very popular for travellers because it is far away from Kanchanaburi town center (Muang District) around 230 kilometers as you habe to drive around 5-6 hours from Bangkok and 3 hours form Kanchanaburi town center.

How to go to Sangklaburi
-From Kanchanaburi town center (Muang Distict) take highway number 323 (the route of Kanchanaburi – Thong Phaphum) as the distance is around 145 kilometers.

-After arrived at Thong Phaphum district, you must turn right and drive around 85 kilometers, then, you will reach Sangklaburi.

Please note that the distance from Thong Phaphum to Sangklaburi is hilly mountain route, then, this route required high skill driver only.

 In Sangklaburi, you will see dramatic scenery mainly generated by Khao Laem Dam and Song Kalia River. Today i will show you some beautiful images of Sangklaburi and i will tell you about the detail of interesting spot in this district on my next post. Let see the images and i guarantee that you will love this small city.
