Si Racha ศรีราชา is a town and subdistrict in Chonburi Province, Thailand, on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand. Also written as Sri Racha, it covers 4 sq km (1.6 sq mi) and has a population of around 19,500 people (2012 estimate). The town is famous as the site of the Sriracha Tiger Zoo and White Dragon King Temple. Other than that, it is just another nondescript Thai town.
The town of Si Racha dates to 1945, when it was formed as a subdistrict municipality. It was elevated to town status in 1995.

Visiting Si Racha
Si Racha is on the way from Bangkok to Pattaya. The most straightforward (but not necessarily the fastest) way is to head east on Sukhumvit Road (Highway 3) until you arrive in Si Racha. Alternatively, take the No. 7 motorway until the interchange with Sukhumvit Road. Then head north on Sukhumvit Road till you reach Si Racha.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
