I'd like to know about more places where there are less farang/tourists, no disrespect to them, of course. But, thinking about it, if it were to be said here, there'd still be many tourists going there once they know? Hmm... - Jen Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:10:42 +0100 Jen -I think there would be some tourists that went to such "new" places -but in most cases they would only go if tours were organised to take them there with a guide by Thai companies-so unless this happened, maybe the situation would not be so bad? - Khun Don Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:10:52 +0100 There are many, many places in Thailand where tourists (foreign ones) don't go but these places are not as nice as those that are mentioned in the tour books that you get. Old temples with old Buddha images are found pretty much every where. For example, I went bac this past June and went to visit a small temple where the structure that houses the Buddha image is only about 20 feet x 60 feet. But the place was very old (about 400 yrs) and the structure was basically covered and held by old trees. Pretty amazine site to see. Places like these are not gonna be found in any books but only be told to you by words of mouths. It lacks even Thai tourists (only about 50 or so people were there that day I went) but it doesn't make it any less interesting to visit. 8-) - Samsingha Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:11:04 +0100 Chachoengsao sounds interesting.... - Selba Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:11:22 +0100 i will be on bangkok this september 1 and would like to see Chachoengsao. will it not be too much if i ask you to send me an e mail on how to be able to go to that place, what is the best transportation to take (bus or train), what time of the day is the best to go, and what are the places to see. is one day enough? i need to go back to bangkok though after a day. - habermas Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:11:39 +0100 Hi there. i just discovered your site today. thanks so much for mentioning cha choeng sao. my brother lives there. i am currently living in the states but visit my family in thailand at least twice a year. the rest of my family lives in the isan part of thailand in a small village called nongalern. i mentioned to my friends here in the states (farang and thai alike) cha choeng sao and they thought i made it up! i sent a link to your site to many of my friends. thanks so much! - Donna Boonchit Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:11:54 +0100 As a Buddhist i had to visited Wat Sothon for the 3th time. It is THE! temple of Thailand for locals. You certainly have to search if you don't rent a Thai driver, but everybody knows and can't tell. And it is not commercial?, NO comment from me!. The new temple is only open on saterdays and sundays, i saw that last month on my visit. - Karel Leferink Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:12:05 +0100 My wife's brother lives in Chachoengsao, so we visit him every since in a while. The country side is just amazing. The air is clean, the roads are okay, such a peacefull place. www.storiesfromthailand.com - Thaistory Fri, 22 Feb 2008 21:24:48 +0100 I am a thai lived in US now I moved back to Thailand I found so many places very interesting please contact me if you want to know something about Thailand I can find for you. - Usa Johnson Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:08:58 +0100 usais@hotmail.com - Usa Johnson Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:10:01 +0100
