Chanthaburi, Thailand (459 words) |
| Blessed with a mild climate the region is known as the "orchard of Thailand", oranges, pineapples, mangoes and the rather unpleasant smelling durian thriving on its vast plantations. |
| Chanthaburi is also special from the point of view of the Thai jewelry trade, the surrounding area being dotted with mines yielding rubies, sapphires and other precious stones. |
| Chanthaburi is thought to be very ancient, a belief confirmed by inscriptions dating back at least to the time of the Khmer (9th c.) for whom the town served as a port and trading post. |
