The charm of Chanthaburi
Following a peaceful trip to Koh Mak recently, I returned to the mainland and like many other travellers, made the most of my time exploring the historic town of Chanthaburi on the way back to Bangkok. A pleasant day trip took me back to the days when Chanthaburi was a significant gemstone supplier and marine trading port before becoming a popular resort town on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand.
