Ang Thong
A tiny provincial capital on both banks of the Chao Phraya River in central Thailand, Ang Thong is known for its reclining Buddha statues, traditional drum-making, wickerwork, and court dolls. The surrounding area has a real café and restaurant scene for a town its size, and the river setting gives it a distinct character among the provincial centres of the Chao Phraya Basin.
