Prachinburi
ปราจีนบุรี
Prachinburi straddles the transition between the Bangkok metropolitan fringe and the wild forests of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The province is gaining importance as part of the Eastern Economic Corridor, with industrial estates in its western lowlands contrasting with pristine national parks in the east. Namtok Phliu and Tab Lan national parks offer excellent jungle trekking, while the city's traditional herbal medicine heritage is preserved at the Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital, which produces a famous line of Thai herbal products.
