Today, we will take you to Chachoengsao, also known as the city of eight lotuses.

This city has many interesting things to offer, such as the revered Luang Pho Sothon Buddha statue, various Ganesha statues, and the Silver, Gold, and Naga Church.

There are also delicious local dishes to try, including river prawns, steamed fish in banana leaves, and mango with coconut.

Chachoengsao is located near Bangkok, making it a perfect destination for a day trip or an overnight stay at a resort.

We would like to express our gratitude to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Chachoengsao Office, for making this wonderful trip possible.

Our first stop today is the Phra Phikanesuan National Park, home to the standing Ganesha statue, located in Khlong Khuen District, Chachoengsao Province.

The park houses the world's largest standing bronze statue of Ganesha.

The statue stands 30 meters tall, and with its pedestal, it reaches a total height of nearly 40 meters.

The four hands hold various plants and grains, including bananas, sugarcane shoots, mangoes, and jackfruit.

At the feet of the deity, a mouse embraces a coconut, symbolizing the abundance of the land.

Surrounding the standing Ganesha are various other forms of the deity.

And because Phra Phikanet Standing Buddha National Park is located in the middle of orchards and fields,

Local villagers bring fruits at orchard prices to sell.

After praying to Lord Ganesha for a year of prosperity (Amen),

We continued our journey to Palm Farm Bird Park.

This is a sanctuary for over 2,000 parrots and more than 80 rare species.

Our star attraction is the Hyacinth Macaw.

This rare blue macaw is one of the rarest birds in the world, with only a few thousand individuals remaining.

Visitors can get up close and personal with these amazing creatures and even feed them.

And today, Palm Farm Nok has a new zone for dog lovers: the Dog Cafe. Here, you can play, pet, and feed Alaskan Malamutes, including Cookie Run and its many puppies.

After washing our hands, we left the palm farm and bird park to have lunch at Krua Imsuk.

The restaurant is located by the Pakong River and offers stunning views.

We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including grilled pork, crab omelet, dipping sauce with vegetables, crab curry, catfish soup, and sour curry with catfish. We also had fried fish with fish sauce, stir-fried shrimp with chili and salt, shrimp with tamarind sauce, and mixed seafood salad.

The food was delicious, although some dishes were a bit sweet for my taste.

It's time to check in! This time, we're staying at Devarin Resort in Chachoengsao.

Let's take our belongings upstairs and get ready to explore the mango orchard and learn about the community. Are you excited?

We visited a palm sugar dessert workshop and a mango farm, where we had the opportunity to taste various mango varieties.

We even bought some fresh mangoes directly from the farm at a great price.

Our dinner menu for tonight includes:

Grilled river prawns, Sweet and sour water mimosa with climbing wattle, Stir-fried vegetables with prawns, Fresh pineapple and prawn curry, and Deep-fried sea bass with fish sauce.

Notably, the grilled prawns are sourced directly from the river, ensuring their freshness and quality.
