Sangkhla Buri สังขละบุรี

Sangkhla Buri สังขละบุรี is a small town in Kanchanaburi Province, on the western edge of Thailand. It has a population of about 36,000, and is the administrative centre of Sangkhla Buri District. Due to its proximity to Myanmar, Sangkhla Buri has a high concentration of Mon and Karen tribespeople. It is a good place to buy Burmese curries and samosas, as well as look for books in the Mon language.

Sangkhla Buri has a lovely lake which is actually a reservoir created by the damming of Khwae Noi River. At the northern shore of the lake is Wat Wangwiwekaram, a Buddhist temple visited by the Burmese and Mon people. There is also a market taking place around the temple.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
