Understand Chachoengsao
Chachoengsao is an eastern Thai province beside Bangkok whose communities and farms are closely tied to the Bang Pakong River. The historic provincial town, widely known as Paet Riu, is the main base for services and rail connections, while the province's 11 districts range from lowland river country to forested land in the east.
Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan, home to the revered Luang Pho Sothon image, is the province's best-known spiritual landmark. The old-town and river experience can be extended to Baan Mai Riverside Market, while Bang Khla is known for its riverside food market and Wat Pak Nam Jolo. Khlong Khuean adds a prominent standing Ganesha landmark.
