Introducing Kamphaeng Phet
Formerly known as Chakangrao or Nakhon Chum, Kamphaeng Phet (Diamond Wall) was once an important front line of defence for the Sukhothai kingdom but it is now mostly known for producing the tastiest klûay khài (‘egg banana’, a delicious kind of small banana) in Thailand. It’s quite a nice place to spend a day or two wandering around the ruins and experiencing a small northern provincial capital that receives few tourists.
