 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
(district) and 1 King Amphoe (sub-district), namely: Amphoe Muang,
Bang Khla, Bang Nam Prieo, Bang Pakong, Ban Pho, Phanom Sarakham,
Sanam Chai Khet, Plaeng Yao, Ratchasan, Tha Takiap, and King Amphoe
Khlong Khuean.
