Bo Phloi
The Bo Phloi district, located some 40 kilometers from the

stones such as onyx. Visitors can visit a Jewelry Handicraft Centre
to see how these materials are honed and fashioned into spectacular
jewelry sets.

20 baht.

and bears that dwell in beautifully landscaped environs. Visitors
can drive their private car to explore the park or use the bus service
provided by the park. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission
