Thailand's "Gem Capital" and "Durian Capital" that have not yet been captured by tourists

On the border between Thailand and Cambodia, there is a city known as the "Gem Capital" that is famous for its rubies and sapphires, and it is Chanthaburi. Chanthaburi's tropical fruits are also a must. 80% of Thailand's durian comes from Chanthaburi, the "durian capital".

Chanthaburi can be reached by 3 hours by car from Bangkok or 2 hours from Pattaya. Because so few people know, there are almost no Chinese tour groups here, and they are basically knowledgeable jewelers.

The clear Chanthaburi River flows slowly through the city, bringing vitality and vitality to the city. The riverside old street next to the Chanthaburi River can be said to be one of the most distinctive places in Chanthaburi. The houses of the old street are lined up along the river. The building is a blend of traditional Chinese, French and Vietnamese styles, with a sense of nostalgia, as if you have traveled in minutes to the last century.

There is a jewelry street not far from the old street, which is not as brilliant as imagined, but has the feeling of a vegetable market, very simple. The more delicate one will put the gems in the box for display, and the direct one will spread a bunch of gemstones on the table, like which one he chooses, just like he sells not precious gemstones but ordinary stones.
