Singburi, a province of Thailand, is located on the flat river plain of the Chao Praya River north of Bangkok. It played a significant role in early Thai history. Singburi is home to Bang Rachan, a village of warriors who fought heroically against the invading Burmese army in the past.
The Bang Rachan story was dramatized into a movie called Bang Rachan (film) and became a sensation in Thailand when it was released back in 2000. Since then, the province has attracted more and more local tourists to its historically important tourist spots allowing people to learn about the Bang Rachan incident first-hand.
Unfortunately, not much information regarding Singburi and its tourist attractions is in English, so I'm here today to lay bare all the awesome things to do in Singburi province for those who are looking to explore the lesser-traveled parts of Thailand. Without further ado, let's begin with the Singburi itinerary map.

8 Best Things to Do in Singburi
1. Pay Respect at the Huge Buddha Image in Wat Pikul Thong Phra Aram Luang
One of the most stunning Buddha images in Singburi is at Wat Pikul Thong Phra Aram Luang, and it would be a shame if you don't visit the place and pay respect to the statue while you are in Singburi.
The big seated Buddha Image of Wat Pikul Thong Phra Aram Luang is 24 meters high, and even though it is not as big as the one at Wat Muang in Ang Thong, it is still pretty impressive to see.
The Buddha image is especially beautiful in the early morning when the sun shines directly on the face side of the statue. Be sure to walk to the spot by a pond to get the best view of the statue and the surrounding buildings.
- Central Park Hotel (Budget)
- Chaisaeng Palace Hotel (Mid-Range) 👍 Top Pick
- Je t'aime cafe & villa (High-End)
- From Kanchanaburi: Erawan Waterfalls and Hellfire Pass (8 hours) 🏅 Top Pick
- From Kanchanaburi: Erawan National Park Half Day (4 hours)
- From Kanchanaburi: Kanchanaburi City Tour Half Day (3 hours)
If you are driving, be sure to stop by at the straight road leading up to the temple, just east of the statue, and you will be able to get a stunning shot, as I did above.
There are also several other statues in the area, including one of the Hindu/Buddhist god, Krishna, so be sure to spend some time and explore the temple complex thoroughly.
Wat Pikul Thong Phra Aram Luang is open from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and like most active worshiping places in Thailand, it is free for anyone to enter.

2. Learn About the History of the Bang Rachan Warriors at Bang Rachan Memorial Park Museum
The Bang Rachan Memorial Park and its museum are the best places for you to visit if you are interested in learning more about the history of Singburi and the heroic acts of the people of Bang Rachan during the Burmese invasion of Ayutthaya.
Within the memorial park, you will find a statue of all 11 warriors who fought bravely against the Burmese invasion. They were the main leaders of the Bang Rachan outpost back in 1765 when Ayutthaya was still in power.
People often gather at the monument, buy flowers and incense, and pay respect to the warriors of Bang Rachan. You can also learn more about the incident at the Bang Rachan museum nearby, which is also free to enter.
Unfortunately, not all items and stories come in English; only a few parts of the stories are translated (in poor English as well). However, you should be able to get the gist of the story with these half-baked translations.
Otherwise, I'll try my best to explain roughly the event of Bang Rachan here, with photos from the museum. You can also watch a Thai movie called Bang Rachan (film) to learn more about the incident, but keep in mind that some parts are dramatized for the screen.
Bang Rachan is a small settlement north of Ayutthaya City, the capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom back in the 16th-17th Century. The 11 warriors of Bang Rachan, who are not even from the village, are a group of people who decided to take up arms against the Burmese invasion by themselves as their cry for help falls on deaf ears at the capital, Ayutthaya.
With around 400 men strong, using their familiarity with the land and guerrilla warfare to their advantage, they were able to repel the invading Burmese army of 300-1000 men eight times before the village fell when cannons were involved.
The warriors of Bang Rachan were able to fend off the Burmese army for 5 months before the village fell, and Ayutthaya, along with it, a few months later. The reason why Ayutthaya decided not to help defend Bang Rachan is that they believed the village would fall anyway, and they would rather not have their weapons confiscated by the Burmese army.
Due to the lack of support from the capital, the people of Bang Rachan decided to take matters into their own hands. They rounded up all their pots and pans and made swords and cannons out of them. They also trained the villagers of Bang Rachan in sword fighting and Muay Thai to prepare for close combat.
The Burmese Army, led by General Ne Myo Thihapate, continued to underestimate the villagers of Bang Rachan by initially sending only 300 men. However, they soon realized their mistake and began sending more and more men with each subsequent attack, increasing the number from 500 to 1000 men. Unfortunately for them, these efforts were to no avail.
Unfortunately, 400 men with swords made out of pots and pans can only get you so far. And when the Burmese decided to take the village seriously by using cannon towers and more than 1000 men, the Bang Rachan defense was starting to crack.
To counter the Burmese cannons, the villagers also attempted to create their own cannons with the resources available. Unfortunately, both cannons failed as the cylinders cracked open, rendering them non-functional. After five months of defense, the village ultimately fell.
One of the most notable stories of this defense, which is also highlighted in the film, is that of one of the Bang Rachan warriors called Thong Min, who got so drunk that he and a few of his men decided to jump on their water buffalos and attack the nearby Burmese camp. They were able to kill some of the Burmese, but in the end, Thong Min and his men were captured and killed on the spot.
I really like the story of Bang Rachan, both from the movie and the one I read at the museum. It shows the courage of the people in Singburi and how even the small act of courage can be remembered after all these years.
If you are interested in the history of Thailand, be sure to drop by and visit the Bang Rachan Museum. The museum is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and it is free to enter.
3. Indulge Yourself in the Street Food at Bang Rachan Old-style Market on Weekends
Across the street from the Bang Rachan Memorial Park, you will find another tourist attraction, the Weekend Bang Rachan Old-style Market, where you can indulge in all kinds of local street food and drinks.
The Bang Rachan Old-style Market is set up to help drive tourism to this part of Singburi and allow the locals to make a living without leaving the village. The market is only open on weekends from 8 AM to 5 PM, so be sure to plan your trip carefully.
Otherwise, you will find the market deserted, as I did when I was there on a Tuesday. Other than the market, there is also a nearby Buddhist temple, the Wat Pho Kao Ton, where locals often go to do merit and pay respect.

4. Check Out the Reclining Buddha at Wat Phra Non Chaksri Worawihan
Wat Phra Non Chaksri Worawihan temple is home to the 50-meter-long Sukhothai-style reclining Buddha statue that is revered among the locals of Singburi.
The statue was so big that I did not even know how to frame the photo, so I can capture it to show you here. Hopefully, my attempts, as you see here, will do the place justice.
Wat Phra Non Chaksri Worawihan temple opens from 6 AM to 5 PM every day. There are several other noteworthy Buddha images in the temple as well, so be sure to spend some time and explore the temple compound thoroughly.
5. Drop By the Wat Na Phra That Old Ruin
Not too far from Wat Phra Non Chaksri Worawihan temple, you will find a pretty well-preserved old Khmer-era pagoda - the only remaining structure of the temple, Wat Na Phra That, that was on this very spot.
The Khmer architectural style found all the way west from Angkor shows just how far and wide the influence of the Khmer Empire was at its peak. You will likely find more of these Khmer-era ruins around this area, from here to Ayutthaya.
Wat Na Phra That Old Ruin is not very big, and only the Prang is still intact. However, since it is so close to Wat Phra Non Chaksri Worawihan, it would be a shame if you don't visit the place. The ruin has no official opening time, so you can visit anytime for free.
6. Walk Around the All-painted-gold Wat Phra Prang Muni Temple
Another quite impressive temple located not too far from Singburi City is the All-painted-gold Wat Phra Prang Muni Temple. One of the coolest things about this temple is that all the structures within the temple ground are painted gold, even the wooden houses for the monks are gold, which makes it pretty photogenic.
There are also several Buddha images and statues within the temple grounds, all painted gold, including a big reclining Buddha image right at the entrance of the temple.
If you have time, make sure to explore the interior of the temple, where you will find several mural paintings created by Mr. Peng, a Laotian, in 1919. The paintings depict the story of hell, heaven, and Buddha's life.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find this part of the temple as some of the places were locked. So, if you decide to visit this temple, let me know what you think about the paintings in the comments below.
7. Check Out the Ancient Kiln Site of Mae Nam Noi
One of the most amazing sights to see in Singburi is the ancient Kiln sites of Mae Nam Noi, where you will find four ancient kiln sites that the locals used to make pots in during the Ayutthaya period.
There are 2 huge kiln sites where the curvature of the fire chambers and the foundations of the chimneys are still intact. You will also see several broken pottery pieces within the fire chamber, indicating that it was used up until it was deserted due to subsequent wars with Burma.
With four kilns found here, it is believed that the operation here is on an industrial level where several hundred pots were made per day and shipped straight to the ships on the nearby river.
Using the material tracing technique, the archaeologists were able to trace hundreds of pots found in shipwrecks all the way to the Bay of Thailand back to the Mae Nam Noi kiln site. The museum guide told me that the top-notch quality of the soil here was one of the contributing factors why this kiln site was able to produce pots at an industrial level.
The museum is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and you will be guided by a museum guide throughout your visit. They will take you to see the artifacts found at the site and the 4 kilns around the museum. The museum is free to enter.
8. Admire the Beauty of Wat Sai
All the way up in the northern edge of the province, you will find a very quiet and peaceful overgrown temple along the riverbank of the Chao Praya River called Wat Sai.
Similar to the overgrown temple of Wat Sang Kratai in Ang Thong, but with fewer visitors and even more overgrown, Wat Sai is quite a photogenic temple to visit.
Unlike the one in Ang Thong, Wat Sai consists of only one big room with several massive Banyan tree roots supporting the entire structure, with the shade of the trees covering the entire temple.
This old temple is located by the Chao Praya River in a small village, and it appears that the place is only maintained through donation money, so be sure to donate a few THB if you have some to spare. There are no opening hours, and the entrance fee is free.
What to Eat and Drink in Singburi?
1. Have a Glass of Iced Drip Cold Brew at Beside You Cafe
One of my favorite cafes in Singburi, where I like to frequent, is Beside You Cafe. They serve Iced Drip Cold Brew coffee, which is my favorite, along with several other drinks for you to indulge yourself in.
The vibe is also great, with the interior decorated with wooden furniture and vintage decor. They also have an outdoor seating area under the shade, making it a great place to hang out and take a break from all the exploration.
Beside You Cafe is located right in the center of Singburi City, and you can park your car in their dedicated parking lot or by the parking spaces along the road. The cafe opens from 10 am to 5 PM. The drinks and snacks are priced at around 60 - 100 THB.
2. Have Breakfast at Ood Nom Sod Old Kopitiam-style Restaurant
One of my favorite places to eat a Kopitiam-style breakfast is at Ood Nom Sod Restaurant. They serve the Thai traditional Khai Krata (eggs on a frying pan) dish with butter and sugar toasts, and strong yet sweet Thai-style iced coffee, the perfect combination to start your day.
Ood Nom Sod Restaurant is run by a family who have lived in Singburi for ages. The place is popular among old people who come here to sit with their pals and discuss things over coffee.
The place really reminded me of all the Kopitiam cafes I love to visit when I was traveling in Malaysia and Singapore. Plus, it is really cheap too with the Egg on Frying Pan dish, 2 butter & sugar toasts, and iced coffee at only 70 THB.
Ood Nom Sod Restaurant is open from 6 AM to 10 AM, making it the perfect place to have breakfast in Singburi.
3. Try the Delicious Sweet Steamed Buns at Cham Nyan Sarapao Shop
Not too far from Ood Nom Sod Restaurant, you will find another family-run old shop that sells the delicious white steamed buns with sweet stuffing called Cham Nyan Sarapao Shop.
These steamed white buns are called Sarapao in Thai, which is derived from the same recipe as the Chinese Baozi. The baozi stuffings from this shop come in 4 variations: sweet, sweet cream, taro, and minced pork, and they are all delicious.
My favorites are the minced pork one and sweet cream. With its small portion, the baozi here is great for dessert or quick snacks before you drive back to Bangkok. The place is open from 7 AM to 6 PM and one baozi should cost you about 8 THB.
4. Go Fine Dining at Je t'aime Cafe
If you are looking for a place to splurge a little and indulge in fine dining in Singburi, Je t'aime Cafe, which is also a villa, is a great place to visit. Here, you can find Western food as well as Thai food, mostly served in large portions, which is ideal if you are traveling with a big group.
The food is priced at around 90-200 THB, which isn't cheap, but that is to be expected in a restaurant with this kind of setting. The food was good, but what attracts the locals most about this place is the European-style architecture and a swimming pool in front of it.
It's probably nice for locals, but if you are from Europe, you might not find it as exciting. The cafe is open from 9:30 AM to 9 PM, and you can park your car in front of the restaurant.
When to Visit Singburi, Thailand?
The best time to visit Singburi is from November to January, when the weather is cooler and less humid due to Thailand's climate, making it much more enjoyable to ride a scooter or walk around.
That said, Thailand has suffered a lot from air pollution in recent years due to the burning season, and it is extremely prevalent during Thailand's winter period (December - January). So, even though the weather is cooler, your visibility might not be the best. Be sure to buy a face mask if you decide to visit Thailand during this time.
March - April are the hottest and most humid periods of the year, so if you can't handle heat very well, avoid visiting during this time. The air quality may be a bit better during this time, though it's not guaranteed.
All the other months are considered to be the rainy season, which, even though the weather is a little more manageable than the summer months, you will also be seeing a lot more rain, which might prevent you from enjoying the outdoors. Air quality during this time should be better due to the rain.
As you can see, the best time to visit Thailand used to be during its wintertime, BUT now that the air quality is getting worse and worse, you will have to decide which is more important to you as a traveler: good weather but bad air quality, or vice versa.
How to Get to Singburi, Thailand?
Singburi is located 105 km north of Bangkok, and in order to get from abroad to Singburi, you will first have to get yourself to Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. Thankfully, Bangkok is a major hub in Southeast Asia, so there are several ways you can get to the city from where you live, as follows:
From the US, unfortunately, there are no direct flights to Bangkok, so you will have to rely on transit flights by Emirates, Qatar, or Turkish Airlines from the East Coast, or ANA Airlines or Korean Air from the West Coast.
From Europe, you can fly from the most popular European hubs like London, Paris, or Frankfurt via Thai Airways or local carriers like British Airways, Air France, or Lufthansa to Bangkok. You can also go with Etihad, Qatar, or Emirates if you don't mind transiting.
From within Asia, there are several low-cost airlines offering numerous routes from various hub cities such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, and Jakarta to Bangkok. AirAsia and Thai Lion Air are excellent low-cost options.
To find a cheap flight to Bangkok, I would recommend that you use Skyscanner or Expedia to look for the cheapest route and schedule so you can compare and choose the best one.
Getting from Bangkok to Singburi
NOTE: If you are planning to follow this itinerary, I would recommend that you skip this section and instead, rent a car from Bangkok following my instructions under How to Get Around Singburi and drive from Bangkok straight to Singburi, as you won't find many options for car rental places in Singburi City.
For those who are just looking for a way to get to Singburi via public transport, you can continue on and follow the instructions below:
To get a bus/van to Singburi, you will have to take a minivan from the Mini-Bus stand across the road from the Morchit Bus Terminal.
You can reach Morchit Bus Terminal from almost anywhere in Bangkok via either MRT station Kamphaeng Phet station or BTS Morchit station, and then from there, you can take a taxi to Morchit Bus Terminal. The taxi should cost no more than 50 THB.
Once you arrive at the Morchit bus terminal, cross the road to the mini-bus stand with the footbridge, and go to Building B to buy your ticket at one of the kiosks inside. Once you arrive at Building B, the people and the kiosks will direct you to the right one. Just tell them that you want to go to Singburi, and you should be on your way.
The mini-bus and vans from Bangkok to Singburi leave every hour from 5:30 AM to 8 PM every day. The journey will take around 3 hours and the ticket will cost about 100 THB. When you buy your ticket, they will ask you where you want to get dropped off, otherwise, they will drop you off at Singburi Bus Terminal.
You do not have to reserve your ticket beforehand as Singburi does not get as many tourists as other places. But for peace of mind, you can browse through some of the available options with the link below.
Book a Bus from Bangkok to Singburi
How to Get Around Singburi Province, Thailand?
As with most lesser-traveled provinces in Thailand, tourist attractions in Province are all scattered throughout the province with no way to get there but with your own vehicle. To see everything I listed here, I recommend you rent a car before you embark on this journey.
Renting a Car to Explore Singburi
Now, if you want to rent a car to explore Singburi, you won't find many options within Singburi city itself as it isn't a big city. So, I would recommend you rent a car straight from Bangkok and drive to Singburi yourself.
You can rent a car in Bangkok from Rentalcars.com, where you can pick up from either the Suvarnabhumi Airport or Don Muang Airport. Don Muang Airport is on the way to Singburi, so maybe picking up there is a better option.
The car rental price in Bangkok ranged from 790 THB - 1500 THB per day. Click on the link below to browse through available car options to drive to Singburi.
To rent a car in Thailand, you will need a valid driving license (foreign driving license is fine), a 3,000~ THB deposit (you will get it back when you return the car), and all you have to do is fill in the form, set up a pick-up/drop-off time and place, and you are on your way.
How Many Days Do I Need For Singburi?
With your own vehicle, you will only need 2 days (1 night) maximum to see all the attractions I have listed in this guide. Here is a breakdown of the 2-day Singburi itinerary.
Day 1: Spend your first day exploring the southern part of Singburi province with a visit to Wat Pikul Thong Phra Aram Luang and Bang Rachan Memorial Park, followed by Wat Phra Non Chaksri Worawihan and Wat Na Phra That. End your evening in Singburi city and explore all the things you can eat there.
Day 2: The next day, you can start a little later and enjoy all the breakfast places in Singburi City before you head north to Wat Sai and backtrack your way down and west to Mae Nam Noi Kiln Site before heading back to Bangkok.
How Much Money Do I Need For Singburi?
With this 2-day Singburi itinerary above, we can roughly calculate how much you will be spending on this trip as follows:
Accommodation: For one night of accommodation in Singburi, you can expect to pay around 13 USD for accommodation.
Food: Food in Singburi should cost around 40 - 60 THB per meal, so you can expect to pay around 200 THB for 2 days in Singburi province.
Transportation: For a 2-day car rental (1600 THB) plus gas (~600 THB), you can expect to pay around 2,200 THB for transportation.
Activities: All of the destinations I listed here are free to enter, so you do not have to pay anything for activities.
Total Budget for 2 days in Singburi province: 2,806 THB (89.85 USD).
Is it Safe in Singburi?
It is safe in Singburi, with nothing to worry about except maybe the road. This applies to driving in Thailand in general, not specifically to Singburi, but Thai roads aren't well-known for their safety.
Since you will be driving most of the time, make sure that you are aware of your roadmates as they fly past you in their huge pickup trucks and container trucks. Do not trust that they will follow the road rules the same way the Western world does.
Which tourist SIM card is best for Thailand?
Update: If your phone supports eSIM, I highly recommend checking out Airalo, a global eSIM marketplace. It allows you to stay connected affordably while traveling in Singburi, Thailand without having to switch out your physical SIM card.
Gone are the days when you needed to scramble to find a local SIM card at an airport upon arrival. You can purchase an eSIM before your arrival, and you'll be good to go. If your phone doesn't support eSIM, here is how you can get a local SIM card in Singburi, Thailand:
There are 3 major carriers in Thailand: AIS, DTAC, and True. All of them offer a pretty similar range of traveler's packages as well as coverage. Personally, I use AIS because I have been with them since my first phone. They have a lot of Support Centers around Thailand, and their coverage hasn't failed me yet. So, if you are looking for a reliable carrier, I can recommend AIS.
There are 3 packages for tourists: 5 GB for 5 days at 160 THB, 15 GB for 8 days at 299 THB, and 30 GB for 15 days. Depending on how long your trip to Thailand will be, you can pick one of these 3 packages that fits your itinerary the most.
With these 3 packages, you can top up more in case you need more data or calls for your trip. More often than not, 5 GB is more than enough for me to travel around Thailand for a month.
For more information about Thailand's local sim card: Thailand's Prepaid Data Sim Card.
Tips: To stay connected with people at home, be sure that you have a VPN, such as ProtonVPN, installed before traveling. It's FREE, and you can gain access to services that may be blocked in certain countries.
What to Pack for Singburi, Thailand?
As you may already know, I am an advocate of light traveling, and indeed, packing light for a journey like this is a unique art form. Here are some packing tips for your upcoming trip to Singburi, Thailand:
- Walking/Hiking Shoes: With all the walking and possible hiking during your travel, a comfortable pair of shoes is a must. I recommend the Timberland 3-Eye Classic Boat Shoes that are my go-to pair for long strolls and hikes.
- Breathable Shirts: Given the potential for hot weather, pack a few breathable shirts for your outdoor adventures.
- Shorts/Jeans: Anticipate lots of walking during your travels? Be sure to pack some breathable shorts and a pair of Levi's jeans for when the weather cools. For women, leggings are excellent for both hot and cold climates, so consider packing some as well.
- Outer Shell Jacket: An outer shell jacket is great for windy or rainy conditions. I highly recommend the Columbia Watertight Jacket (for women). It's lightweight, breathable, and even comes in a cool orange color.
- Microfiber Towel: A Microfiber towel is the ideal backpacker's towel due to its lightness, quick drying, and compressibility.
- Swim Suits: A swim trunk is a must-pack item if you are planning to visit Singburi, Thailand in the summer, just in case there is a body of water you can jump in.
- Camera: You should also pack a good camera for your trip so that you can capture all the beautiful experiences you might have. I recommend the Sony a7R V camera together with the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens, which is probably the highest-performance camera and lens combination you can get right now.
- Power Bank: Keep your electronics charged on the go with a 20,000+ mAh Power Bank.
- Water Bottle: The Hydro Flask Trail Water Bottle is a great insulated water bottle to have with you in cities or on hiking trails. It is lightweight and can keep your water cold or warm for more than 12 hours. It's a total game-changer.
- Universal Adapter: You'll need just one universal adapter to plug in your electronics in any country you visit.
- Packing Cubes: Packing Cubes will help you save space in your backpack and keep all your belongings organized.
- Daypack: The Langly Alpha Globetrotter is my go-to everyday camera backpack. It's large enough to carry all my travel gear, and it comes with plenty of slots and pouches. Plus, it's stylish as hell!
- Large Backpack: You will need a large backpack to carry all of your stuff. I recommend the Osprey Atmos AG 65L backpack. With excellent weight distribution and a lifetime guarantee, you can't go wrong with Osprey.
For more information on what I pack in my backpack for this trip, check out: My Packing List: 60 Travel Essentials.
Now that we have all the information we need, it's time to start planning your trip! Here are some resources to help you get going:
