Welcome to Sangklaburi.

Welcome to Sangklaburi! Sangkhlaburi is a beautiful western-most district adjacent to Myanmar, which is about 370 kms from Bangkok. The city has its own charm with mountains, rivers, and a lake as a part of Khao Laem reservoir.


Chedi Buddhakhaya. The top of the Chedi contains Buddha's relics from Sri Lanka. The shrine houses "Luang Por Khao", a large white marble Buddha image.



Wat Wang Wiwekaram Situated on the hill side in Sangklaburi, the monastery abbot" Laung Pho Uttama" is highly respected among Thai people, Trible people and Burmese. Ti's pagoda was built in the style similar to Pha Phutta Khaya in India and temple is housed with huge Buddha Image made of marble.


Historical Treasure gives ways to development!


The wooden pedestrian bridge links the modern Sangklaburi town with bank, hotels, bus station and internet cafes to Mon villages, Mon temple and Mon market on the western side. The bridge was built over Songkalia (Song Kalia or Songalia) river that drains into the lake at its northern tip.


Three Pagodas Pass. 22 kilometres from Sangklaburi, the three miniature pagodas are memorials of the important routing of the troop during the warting of Aytthaya perild. It also marks the rugged Thai-Myanmar border and is the site of a small thriving border market. Visitors are allowed to enter the neighbouring Burmese settlement.
