3 Properties in Sangkhla Buri with River view
Sangkhla Buri, a serene town nestled in the Kanchanaburi Province of Thailand, is a hidden gem that offers a unique blend of cultural diversity and natural beauty. Located near the border with Myanmar, this picturesque destination is renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant cultural tapestry. The town is home to the Mon, Karen, and Thai communities, each contributing to the area's distinct cultural identity. One of the most iconic landmarks in Sangkhla Buri is the Mon Bridge, or "Uttamanusorn Bridge," which is the longest handmade wooden bridge in Thailand. It connects the town to the Mon village and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding lake and mountains.
Sangkhla Buri's history is deeply intertwined with the construction of the Vajiralongkorn Dam, which led to the creation of the vast Khao Laem Reservoir. This reservoir submerged the old town, including the original Wat Wang Wiwekaram temple, which can still be seen during the dry season when water levels recede. The new Wat Wang Wiwekaram, built on higher ground, is a significant spiritual center for the local Mon community and a must-visit for travelers.
The town's proximity to the Three Pagodas Pass, a historic trade route between Thailand and Myanmar, adds to its historical significance. Visitors can explore the pass and learn about its role in the region's history, including its use during World War II. Sangkhla Buri is also a gateway to the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area, with opportunities for trekking, bird watching, and exploring the lush forests and waterfalls of the nearby Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary.
Sangkhla Buri offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, inviting travelers to immerse themselves in its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. Whether you're exploring the vibrant local markets, enjoying a boat ride on the reservoir, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, Sangkhla Buri promises an unforgettable experience.
