Chachoengsao – a discovery just outside Bangkok

Two hours east of Bangkok lies this gem on the Bang Pakong River. Highlights include Wat Sothonwararam,  the golden  Wat Pak Nam Jolo  and the famous Ban Mai Market, where you can enjoy delicious regional specialties! The city’s major temples date back to King Rama I and were built as early as the 18th century.

About 1½ hours by car. A privately booked minivan costs about €39. A regular van from the bus station costs just 200 baht. 

Several times a year, especially during peak season, the railway runs special services with a steam locomotive. Journey time: approx. 1.5 hours.
