» If Bangkok-based tourists have a free day to visit nearby provinces besides the perennially popular Ayutthaya, Chon Buri or Phetchaburi, Saraburi's Muak Lek district and the adjacent Pak Chong district of Nakhon Ratchasima are among good choices, especially during the cool season.

Temple tourism resurges after flood
Life, Pichaya Svasti, Published on 09/02/2012
» At weekends, Wat Phananchoeng Worawihan in Ayutthaya province is still crowded with Thai and foreign worshippers and tourists all day after last year's big flood. Hundreds of people were spotted paying respect to the presiding Buddha statue, Phra Buddhatrairattananayok, during the half an hour we spent there on a recent trip. The situation was similar at eight other temples in Ayutthaya and two neighbouring provinces we visited. Visiting temples in flood-hit areas is an opportunity for us to learn how many temples coped with the disaster and why a few were spared by the floodwater.
