Chon Buri Province

From Wikipedia

Chon Buri is a province (changwat) of Thailand. Neighboring provinces are (from north clockwise) Chachoengsao, Chanthaburi and Rayong. To the west is the Gulf of Thailand.

Geography

The province is located at the Bay of Bangkok, the northern end of the Gulf of Thailand. A mountain range stretches from the north-west to the south-east of the province, while the fertile plains of the north were long used for farming. In Laem Chabang in the south of the province is one of the few deep-water harbours of Thailand.

Symbols

The provincial seal shows the hill Kao Sam Muk, on which a holy joss-house is located. The local people believe that the spirit of that mountain protects the fishermen from harm.
Provincial tree as well as flower is the Padouk (Plerocapus indicus).

Administrative divisions

The province is subdivided in 10 districts (Amphoe) and one minor district (King Amphoe). These are further subdivided into 92 communes (tambon) and 691 villages (muban).
