The 5 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province
Nakhon Si Thammarat (Thai: นครศรีธรรมราช, pronounced [ná(ʔ).kʰɔ̄ːn sǐː tʰām.mā.râːt]; from Pali Nagara Sri Dhammaraja) is a city (thesaban nakhon) in southern Thailand, capital of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and the Nakhon Si Thammarat District. It is about 610 km (380 mi) south of Bangkok, on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula. The city was the administrative center of southern Thailand during most of its history. Originally a coastal city, silting moved the coastline away from the city. The city has a much larger north to south extension than west to east, which dates back to its original location on a flood-save dune. The modern city centre on the train station is north of Old Town. As of 2005, the city had a population of 105,417.

This was truly an eye opener. History of puppets well preserved and displayed. Also some musical instrument and other antique stuff. Khun Suchat's daughter took us on the guided tour and also demonstrated how the puppets and other art work on leather is made. Sadly we couldn't make time for a shadow puppet show. They have some beautiful puppets and other artwork for sale, value for money. Overall a fantastic experience.

A beautiful White temple complex, the temple is in the city and easy to reach, there were no crowds of people so my partner and myself found it very easy to move around and take in the lovely sight of the temples. If you should wish to buy an item to remind you of the temple there is a shop on site. You should not miss this temple when you visit the city, you will not need an hour as it is easy to walk around in a short time.
