About Ratchaburi
Ratchaburi province lies west of Bangkok, and the city of Ratchaburi is about 150 km from the capital. The nearest large tourist centre, the city of Kanchanaburi, is 40 km from the border of the province.
The Ratchaburi National Museum on the bank of the Mae Klong River is one of the main sights. Its best part is about the pre-Thai and early Thai periods: the Dvaravati era of the 7th and 8th centuries is especially well represented, with dozens of Buddha statues, bodhisattvas, Indian deities, terracotta figures and cheerful bas-reliefs. The collection also covers the Sukhothai, Ayutthaya and Rattanakosin eras.
Wat Mahathat Worawihan stands half a kilometre from the museum. It is one of the oldest temples in the city, more than 1,000 years old, and only partly restored, so many towers look as old as the exhibits.
The trip by taxi
The driver comes to the address you give in Bangkok, at an airport or in Pattaya, and nobody else rides with you. The car can wait while you see the place, and the waiting time is agreed in advance. For a group of more than four passengers see the Hyundai H1 and the Commuter.
