Second and third are Chonburi province and Chachoeng Sao province, respectively. The wide variation of prices in Chonburi and Chachoeng Sao provinces is due to a number of industrial estates being located close to Bangkok while others, mostly pulp and paper manufacturers, is located further away from the capital. Provinces such as Prachinburi and Saraburi have much cheaper land prices due to their locations far from Bangkok or port facilities.
