Chanthaburi town -- known as 'Chan' to locals -- is nestled along the Chanthaburi river some 20 kilometres from the Gulf of Thailand, a two- to four-hour's drive from Bangkok, Pattaya, Ko Samet, Ko Chang and either of two border crossings to Cambodia. Overshadowed by these better known destinations, Chan is often viewed as a convenient one-day stopover, but the province offers enough to keep you excited for a week. If we had that much time in the City of the Moon and surrounds, here's where we'd spend it.
