    Geographically located in the Lower North on the bank of the Ping River, Kamphaeng Phet (pronounced Gampaeng Pet) is 358 kilometres from Bangkok. To its East are riverine flatlands while the western areas are made up of high mountains lush with fertile forests where a number of national parks have been established.

    Areas along the river bank at present-day Mueang district used to host several ancient towns which had played a major role as strategic front-line frontiers since Sukhothai was the kingdom's capital down through the times of Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin (Bangkok) eras. In fact, the name Kamphaeng Phet actually means as strong as walls or forts make of diamonds.

    A minibus from Nakhon Sawan bus station will cost B90, and it stops in the bus station which is distant from the city itself.
  • filter_dramaGet around
    There are Tuk Tuks and motorcycle taxis here, but none were noted at the bus station on arrival.
    From the bus station, which is several Km out of town across the river, you can take a Red/Brown songteow near the ticket windows on the left, which appears to operate as a taxi and charges according to the number of passengers. With 4 persons, the cost was B40 each.

    Inside the city, there are Tuk Tuks close to the mid town market (close to the Phet hotel), and these take you to the bus station for B60.
    Ask first).

    Otherwise, this is not a really large city and if you enjoy walking, you can get around easily.

    The hot springs of Phra Ruang not so far from the main town. A precise route is to follow Highway 101 north (towards Sukhothai) out of Kamphaeng Phet town for 13 km and then a left and 12 km up this road you'll come upon the springs, can't be missed.

    * Otherwise there are many great national parks where you can do some hiking.

    Possibly the best, maybe the only 'western' coffee shop in town. Cappuccinos at 50 baht, selection of sweet snacks, wifi. On the street corner opposite the town fountain. Intersection of Thanon Tesa 1 and Thanon Kamphaengphet. Popular. 2012.

    There are plenty of street eats here, but written in Thai.
    Just point at what you think looks good and take your chances!

    At the Night Plaza, about a Km from the Phet Hotel, and close to the Ping River, is the night plaza.
    This is a market, and also an eating place.
    The cooking stalls have sitdown places at back, and some actually have English menus(despite few tourists here).
    Prawns with garlic (pat kratiam) with a large bottle of Chang beer was B150. Food very good.

    There is also a German restaurant " OASIS" a bit outside the town, got only western dishes and more than 15 different german beers. very popular place.

    Riverside Scenic Resort[http://www.scenicriversideresort.com/Site_En/Accom_Eng.html] is a great and realxing place to stay. Lots of local info and near the old city.
    *Low cost, basic rooms (entirely adequate and clean), fan or aircon, very pleasant garden environment. Small range of food offered, bikes for hire (200b a day). Family run business, good spoken English, helpful advice about touring the town and ruines. About 2kms south of city centre. Bike 50b from bus station.
    *Hotel is in the centre of the city close to the market. It is a good hotel and some English is spoken at Reception. From the outside the hotel looks to be rather worn, but inside is clean,modern, and well appointed. Cost is B700 with breakfast. Credit cards accepted. It has a restaurant,bar, and karaoke etc. A city map is available (free) at Reception. The Ping River is roughly one Km distant from the hotel (turn right and walk straight ahead)

    There is also the Navarat Hotel and the Chakungrao Riverview Hotels close to the night market.(with the latter you will need to be at least on the third floor!)
    Both appear to be about the same standard as the Phet Hotel.
