Sing Buri is the capital town of Sing Buri Province. It lies around 142 km north of Bangkok along the Chao Phraya River. It has a population of around 20 000 and the most important economic sector is agriculture, especially rice cultivation. It’s a very quiet place and is undiscovered by most tourists but it does have it’s share of local attractions. There are a few Buddhism temples, a huge Buddha statue, the famous monkey temple, a museum and a monument. The old capital of Thailand, called Ayutthaya is just a hour’s drive from Sing Buri. It is a popular place to visit as it holds a lot of history. One reason why the Sing Buri Province is worth a visit is the beautiful green landscape and of course the warmhearted and always smiling locals! People in Sing Buri Province are believed to be the happiest people in all of Thailand! It is a great place to escape from the noise, the crowd and the pollution of the city. It is quite easy to get here from Bangkok. Its about 2 hours away by public bus and about 1 hr 45 minutes by car.
