Chachoengsao

Last week I went on a little day trip to Chachoengsao a small town famous for its new castle-like temple and the buddha statue which was found in the river behind the temple.
The town is also famous for its "mummy"monk,which was found mummified while in a hpynotic trance while mediatating!
Nice trip up the river to the Chinese temple where this monk could be visited;would have better without the very loud commentary. Also visited a market place but as it wasn't the weekend it was very quiet with many places shut.
Anyway it was good to get out of Bangkok and add a new place to the many places that I've already visited in Thailand.
