Kamphaeng Phet province is located in the lower north on the Bangkok - Chiang Mai highway. To its east are Ping River flatlands while the western areas are made up of high mountains lush with fertile forests where a number of national parks have been established.
Smaller and calmer than Sukothai, Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1991 and home to many well protected ruins from the Sukothai period.
