Ratchaburi
ราชบุรี
Ratchaburi is perhaps best known for the iconic dragon jars (ong mung korn) that have been produced by its Chinese-Thai pottery communities for over a century. The Damnoen Saduak floating market, while touristic, remains one of the most photographed scenes in Thailand and pioneered the floating market experience for international visitors. The province's western highlands along the Myanmar border contain the Suan Phueng district, a cool-climate retreat with wineries, farms, and glamping resorts that has become hugely popular with Bangkok residents.
