Prachin Buri, being one of the oldest historical cities since prehistoric times, became an important settlement area of the town. Artifacts, along with archaeological sites, have reflected the cultural heritage.
This was a centre of Buddhist culture in the Dvaravati period, dating from the 6th to 11th centuries. It had big temples and monasteries, and through the Khmer Empire, it had large temples and monuments in the Angkor period, which dates from the 9th to the 15th century.
Between the 14th and 18th centuries, Prachin Buri province was one of the very strong regimes of Ayutthaya, ruling almost all of modern Thailand. It was an important province regarding commerce and defence. Signs of city wall remnants can be found alongside river banks.

This makes Prachin Buri really a current mix of ancient civilisation and modern life. This can demonstrate to guests the rich legacy that has been held forth in historic places and galleries.
The climate in Prachin Buri is tropical savannah-like, with three distinct seasons, which makes it a more hands-on experience. Obviously, the best time to visit for the activities you enjoy depends on that.
If you're looking to visit, we'd recommend going during the dry season. From November to April, the weather is cooler and drier, which makes outdoor activities a great option. This is also the best time to explore the natural attractions, from national parks to waterfalls and hiking trails.
The province experiences a tropical climate characterised by hot and humid weather
Prachin Buri is situated in the eastern part of Thailand, a little over 160 kilometres from Bangkok. It's the ideal destination for a day or weekend escape from the frantic bustle of Bangkok, which borders join those of Sa Kaeo, Chachoengsao, Nakhon Nayok, and Chonburi provinces.
The area is easily accessible, from Bangkok to Prachin Buri either, by using private transfer or automobile. This would normally take about 2–3 hours of driving time if the traffic conditions were considered. Besides, the roads are well-marked, and their surfaces are always in good condition to help drivers.
