How to write this city correctly in Russian, I still do not know Whether Kamphaeng Phet, or Kampeng Pet, and pronounce it correctly not at all real. How many times did not try, Thais understood only times from the tenth, where I need a ticket, accounted for fingers explain yes map show.
Since this city is not particularly known among Russians travelers, about him there is almost no information in runet. On English is, you need to look for according to Kamphaeng Phet. So i traveled from Bangkok, so I will tell you how to do it from him. Although, of course, you can get from any city, just with transfers, the main thing first to get into Pitsanulok. But, from major cities, perhaps there are direct routes or cross-cutting.

Kampeng Pet City
The city is really big, but at first it does not seem so. Here There are several markets, Big C, a park near the river. Only for us travelers problem is the almost complete absence English-speaking Thais, although in the cafe menu in English meet, or usually they call someone who knows a few words in English. The prices for the food are still sane, especially if order Thai food, such as Pad Tai.
What I didn’t like here was a large number of dogs. Never seen such things in Tae, some evil ones, the truth is only late in the evening, for in the daytime they sleep somewhere and they are not it is seen. Although they are not in the whole city, but only on some streets are found.

Orientation in the city is easiest from the roundabout, which is located immediately after crossing the river bridge if drive from the bus station.

Bus Schedule Bangkok – Kampeng Pet
Nakhon Sawan I mentioned here for a reason. I had to go through it, since I did not go in the morning, but in the middle of the day (buses until Kampeng Pet rarely go), and already quite in the evening I don’t go wanted to. So I took the bus to Nakhon Sawan, and decided spend the night on the road. If suddenly you go the same way, then here is my article to help the City of Nakhon Sawan or where it stops on the way to Kampeng Pet

Where to stop and the complexity of communication
My principle is to walk and look for what I need in the end. worked this time too, hooray! Although difficulties began even on bus station when you had to somehow get to the city center. Nobody speaks English, even at the bus station in the window with the proud English inscription Information. Themselves tukukery not jump, apparently afraid of communication.
Walked around 3 hotels and eventually found a very good, but Thai hotel and cheap with it. Then he continued to walk and came across a Frenchwoman who casually mentioned the guesthouse stopped and where speak english. Ok i’m I guessed to photograph the map in her hands, and then with the help of this photos, google map and his deduction, figured out where this guest located. After that, walking into it and came. And, oh, praise everyone Gods, I learned everything that I need about the historic park and national park. It also turned out to be good housing, colorful and Bekpekerskoe, as well as rent bikes and bicycles. Guest is called Three J Guesthouse.
