Singburi

Sing Buri lies along the Chao Phraya River 142 km north of Bangkok. Established in 1895 during the reign of King Rama V through a consolidation of three small riverside towns, Sara Buri province currently occupies an area of 822 square kilometers and is divided into six districts (Amphoes): Muang Sing Buri, In Buri, Bang Rachan, Khai Bang Rachan, Phrom Buri and Tha Chang.
Sing Buri is well known for abundant river fish, particularly the Mae La catfish, and for the lively annual boat races during which competitors from the province and beyond vie for the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Trophy. Attractions in the province are few, but are interesting, including a heros monument, a museum, and Wat Phra Non Chaksi, a temple that houses a 46 meter-long Buddha image.
