Experience the Soul of Sangkhlaburi

Authentic • Journey • Connect

Harmony Between Nature and Culture

Sangkhlaburi is embraced by rolling mountains and verdant forests, where three main rivers—the Songkalia, Bikhli, and Rantee—converge. This confluence creates the stunning lake over the Vajiralongkorn Dam (or Khao Laem Dam), which is also home to the "Underwater Temple," a unique destination and one of Thailand’s hidden gems.

The town's most iconic landmark is the Uttamanusorn Bridge, more commonly known as the Mon Bridge. As the longest wooden bridge in Thailand, it gracefully connects the two cultures of the town: the main Sangkhlaburi district and the Mon village. The locals, with their genuine smiles and warm hospitality, live a peaceful life here. A morning spent witnessing the Mon alms giving ceremony is a truly unforgettable scene that reflects deep-rooted faith and community bonds.

Historical and Cultural Landmarks

Beyond the Mon Bridge, Sangkhlaburi is rich with historical and cultural sites for you to explore:

  • Wat Wang Wiwekaram (Luang Phor Uttama Temple): This temple is the spiritual heart of the Sangkhlaburi and Mon communities, housing the remains of the revered monk Luang Phor Uttama.

  • Chedi Phutthakhaya: A magnificent golden pagoda built in the style of India’s Bodh Gaya, serving as a powerful symbol of faith and devotion.

  • Three Pagodas Pass: A historical landmark that once marked a key route connecting Thailand and Myanmar, symbolizing the western end of Thailand's border.

For nature lovers, Khao Laem National Park offers beautiful waterfalls like Kroeng Krawia Waterfall and scenic viewpoints such as Pom Pee, where you can fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the region.
