The Best Hotels and Resorts in Kamphaeng Phet Province
Kamphaeng Phet (Thai: กำแพงเพชร) is a province (changwat) of Thailand in the upper center of the country. Neighbouring provinces are (from north clockwise) Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, Phichit, Nakhon Sawan, and Tak.
In Thai kamphaeng means a "wall" and phet (from Sanskrit vájra) means 'diamond' . Thus the name literally means the "diamond wall" and refers to the city's ancient defenses.
The main river is the Ping, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya River. River flats make up much of the east of the province, while the west is mountainous and covered with forests.
One of the provinces best-known products is bananas, especially the kluai khai, a small, round, sweet banana. Banana festivals are held every year to thank the spirits for the harvest.
