Si Thep: A Journey to Thailand’s Lost Treasure
Si Thep, an ancient town nestled within the Lop Buri-Pasak River Basin in Phetchabun Province, 450 kilometres north of Bangkok, has recently risen to prominence as a UNESCO-designated World Cultural Heritage site. Known as the “Lost Hindu Town” in the annals of the Siamese Royal Court, its revival in 1904 can be credited to the visionary historian Prince Damrong Rajanubhab, who was led to this legendary city by locals in Phetchabun.
With the convergence of Summer Sonic and the endeavor to host Tomorrowland, Thailand’s emergence as a hub for global music festivals is undeniable. Festival-goers and music enthusiasts alike have much to anticipate as Thailand cements its reputation as a must-visit destination for music lovers from around the world.
