Chachoengsao is located on the bank of the Bang Pakong River. The town was established in the year 1549 during the reign of King Maha Chakkraphat of Ayutthaya and originally used as a centre for armed force recruitment. During the reign of King Maha Thammaracha, the kingdom was in a weak condition due to being defeated by the Burmese. Phraya Lawaek, the Khmer king located Thai people from several towns including Chachoengsao to be his work force.
Chachoengsao is commonly called Paet Riu, such a name is derived from large sized fish locally caught in the past. The town is some 100 kms. east of Bangkok occupying an area of 5,351 square kilometres. Its area is a low basin rich in rice fields, fish farms and fruit orchards.

Khlong Suan Market, or 100 year old market, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. ( 1 )
We set off to this market on a day that was raining so hard I wondered whether it was worth going. But having arrived here, the rain stopped and the sun came out. What it had done though was keep all the people away so it was much easier to get round the market, as very few people had come that day.
I would not really call this a floating market but more a market situated on a canal, but the setting made for a great day out, and the market was first class.
Situated on the banks of Prawet burirom Canal, Khlong Suan Market lies in two provinces: Tambon Thepparat, Amphoe Ban Pho, Chachoengsao Province and Tambon Khlong Suan, Amphoe Bang Bo, Samut Prakan Province.
This traditional market dates back to the reign of King Rama V. The market contains many different shops, which are getting rare these days, since they are increasingly being replaced by modern convenience stores and shopping malls.
After more than 100 years old, it still retains the quaint charm of the old days. Visitors will be pleased with the traditional market atmosphere while enjoying a great variety of tasty food.
Klong Suan will dazzle you with its old shop houses and stalls selling a variety of tasty traditional foods like tom yam noodles, sweet Thai sausage and pot-stewed duck to desserts made from coconut, quaint old utensils and ancient tin toys.
A symbol fitting of the market is a 71 year old coffee shop, Pae Lee, laid out with a few single round tables and stools. The shop takes its name from its owner, a genial elderly person with a ready smile for his patrons.
The most touching aspect of this community, is not the ambience nor the well-maintained buildings or their architecture, but it is the residents' traditional way of life that remains largely untouched by the tides of time.
Khlong Prawet Burirom ( Khlong Phra Khanong ) was one of the great arterial waterways of the pre-automobile era in Thailand. It runs from The Chao Phraya River at Khlong Toei near Bangkok's Port, Eastwards to the Bang Phakong River near Chachoengsao, a distance of some 55 km. It is still used by boat services, but only from Phra Khanong Bridge on the Sukhumvit Road to Srinakharin rd. Passage further east is blocked by the water gates near Prawet.

Pattaya bay and The Million Years Stone Park & Pattaya Crocodile Farm, Chonburi, Thailand. ( 1 )
I will never forget my first trips down to Chonburi province and onto Pattaya. They were building the new roads down to there around 10 years ago ( 2004 ). The traffic jams were terrible, even driving along the banks of the roads on the left to gain another few more metres of roadway. The journey at its longest took me 5 hours and I am sure some will say it took even longer. Now the new highway and dual carriageways have reduced all the congestion and the trip to Pattaya is now around 1 ½ hours to about 2 hours. You can never be certain though on your trip to Pattaya, they still have traffic jams and hold ups caused by accidents and road works.
Chonburi province borders Chachoengsao province and Rayong province in the south. Now the new roads down to Pattaya have been finished Chonburi boast it is the only province outside of Bangkok Metropolitan area to have an eight lane motorway through to Bangkok. It is also home to Thailands largest seaport at Laem Chabang, which is about 25 kilometres north of Pattaya, and just south of Chon Buri city. This seaport is massive and was started in 1988, it was a major development to encourage trade and development outside Bangkok and take advantage of the Gulf of Thailand. Laem Chabang container port was completed in 1991. It is reported that it is the 22nd busiest container port in the world, this was in 2011. Much of the international shipping reaching Thailand goes through Laem Chabang.
Chonburi also has the Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate consisting of 4,120 hectares ( 25,000 rai or 10,400 acres ) the company’s flagship estate is located on a prime plot adjacent to the Bangna - Trat elevated Expressway and the Bangkok – Chonburi Motorway near a place called Bowin. My friend works in the famous tyre making factory on this estate. Factories set up here benefit from their location in the heart of the Eastern Seaboard Industrial Region and its supporting infrastructure because Bangkok is only 57 Kilometres away with Suvarnabhumi International Airport 42 kilometres and Laem Chabang Deep Sea Port 46 Kilometres.
Bowin is now becoming a very popular area due to the building of this Industrial Estate along with a Tesco Lotus shopping mall which can be found at Bowin / Chonburi Branch 117 46 Pakruam Huayprab rd. Sri Racha , having been to this mall it has the usual big name shops inside the vast floor space. They have a great selection of items on sale here which is why it’s so popular. Home Pro, a new furniture store / garden centre / and pretty much everything else you need all under one roof now is sited on the traffic light junction where you turn down to Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate.
Chonburi province has many of the best Golf courses around Thailand and has the world class golf course the Laem Chabang International Country Club designed by Jack Nicklaus. It also has a vast refinery the Exxon/ Mobil refinery at Laem Chabang. There are many ways you can get to Chonburi province from Bangkok.
By Car ~ There are several routes from Bangkok to Chonburi:
Take Highway 34 the Bang Na - Trat to Chonburi road.
Take Highway 304 the Bangkok - Min Buri roadway, passing Chachoengsao Provinc and then -Bang Pakong into Chonburi.
Or take the old route of Sukhumvit Road then join highway 3, passing through Samut Prakan Province to the intersection of Bang Pakong district then take the highway 34 to Chonburi.
Or now you can take the motorway, Bangkok - Chonburi-Pattaya.
By Train
From Hua Lamphong Railway Station, there is only one daily train running to Phlu Ta Luang Railway Station in Chonburi.
By Bus
From the Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekkamai), there are many air conditioned buses to Chonburi from 05:30 - 21:00 they are every 40 minutes. Also the second - class air conditioned buses are provided from 05:30 - 21:00 run every 30 minutes. Non air-conditioned buses leave Ekkamai every 30 minutes from 05:00 - 21:00. Otherwise, there are also air-conditioned buses leaving the Bangkok Bus Terminal ( Mo Chit 2 ). Air conditioned buses take the motorway from 06:30 - 18:30.
Additionally, there are private buses departing from the Southern Bus Terminal. Air conditioned buses to Pattaya run daily along the Bang Na - Trat route and stop at the Rot Rungrueng Company air-conditioned bus terminal on Pattaya Nuea rd. They leave from 05:30 – 18:30 every 2 hours.
Yaksha Statues, Thai Temple Guards, Thailand Temple Yakshas
These Yakshas or temple guards are the same temple guards outside Wat Pho and the Grand Palace in Bangkok. Since the 14th century Yakshas have been placed outside temple doors to guard against evil forces entering into the temple or temple grounds. They are depicted with a characteristic face, having big round bulging eyes and protruding fangs. They are dressed in full body armor wearing a dragon helmet, with both hands upon a large spiraled club; a menacing prospect for any evildoer entering! The pair is sold as a set.

Khao Yoi Cave Temple, Ratchaburi Province, Thailand. ( 1 )
Khao Yoi Cave Temple, Ratchaburi Province, Thailand.
Ratchaburi Province Page 13, The Royal Ratchaburi Golf Club, Pictures Ratchaburi Province, Page 15, Khao Yoi Cave Temple, Ratchaburi Province, Thailand.
Khao Yoi is a rocky mountainous region standing on its own just east of the town of Ratchaburi. It's down a short lane to the left just past a Shell station if you are going South and the Mae Luan rice and curry restaurant. The main attraction apart from monkeys is the cave temple inside the caves in these very high rock faces and a rather surprisingly well decorated temple building with shrines ( within the caves ) . It's not heavily visited during the week days.There are undecorated caves a little further up but take care of your footing and the steep climb is exhausting in the fierce heat. There are many places to eat and of course buy souvenirs and snacks in the village. The Bangkok - Petchaburi public minibuses will stop in Khao Yoi if you ask the driver. Make sure you find out where to wait for the next minibus though so you can carry on your journey later. Otherwise, a car or taxi is of course much easier.
Getting to Ratchaburi, Khao Yoi cave temple,
By Car
a) From Bangkok, take Highway No. 4 ( Phahonyothin road ) to Ratchaburi via Bang Khae, Om Noi, Om Yai, Nakhon Chai Si, Nakhon Pathom.
b) From Bangkok, take Highway No. 338 to Nakhon Chai Si via Buddhamonthon and turn into Highway No. 4, then proceed to Ratchaburi.
