The first time you see it, you laugh a little. Then you go quiet. A huge pink reclining Ganesha, roughly 16 meters tall and over 20 meters long, rests under the Thai sky. Families walk around, light incense, and take photos with umbrellas in every color.
Where it is
Wat Saman Rattanaram, Khlong Khuean area, Chachoengsao Province. Popular as a day trip from Bangkok or Pattaya. From Mama Sue’s near the railway station, plan a dedicated outing by taxi or tour.
How to visit with heart
- Dress modestly: shoulders and knees covered
- Respect worshippers; do not climb statues
- Morning light is kinder for photos and heat
- Bring water; the grounds are open and sunny
Combine with other stops
Same province as Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan, Baan Mai Riverside Market, and Wat Pho Bang Khla. Sleep at Krazy Home so you do not race the last train.
