Chachoengsao or Paet Rio is located on the
east of Bangkok. Its fertility is due to Bang Pakong River. It is an
important venue for agricultural products in the Central Region, with
mango as the most popular fruit of the province. Moreover, it is the
location of the sacred Phra Phutthasothon Buddha image.
Derived from Khmer, the name Chachoengsao means deep canal, while the
name of Paet Rio (Paet means eight and Rio means stripes) has been
believed to have come from the way dried fish (which are abundant in
the area) were being pierced into eight stripes.
The history of Chachoengsao dated back since the Ayutthaya Period
during the reign of King Phra Borom Tri Lokkanat. Most people live
along the banks of Bang Pakong River and canals. Phra Phutthasothon or
Luang Pho Sothon is the center of beliefs and faith. In the past,
Chachoengsao was a small town, and was upgraded to a province in 1916.
Chachoengsao is 80 kilometers from Bangkok, with the area of 5,351
square kilometers. The local administration is divided into 10 Amphoe
