The Lost City

Sangkhlaburi which is close to the Burmese/Thai border holds some of Thailand's hidden treasures that most expats, tourists and even Thai nationals have never seen or knew existed. After Thailand's famous wet season each year, late November, there is a chance to dive some of the submerged temples and pagodas which are almost completely dry and visible for most of the year.
