Chachoengsao
ฉะเชิงเทรา
Known locally as Paet Riu, Chachoengsao is a major pilgrimage destination thanks to Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan, home to one of Thailand's most sacred Buddha images. The province straddles the Bang Pakong River and is a key node in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), attracting significant industrial investment while retaining its agricultural roots in rice and fruit cultivation. Weekend visitors from Bangkok flock here for riverside seafood restaurants and temple fairs.
