A beautiful harmony! City Pillar Shrine of Chachoengsao, a center of Thai-Chinese faith in the heart of Paet Riu If you have plans to visit Paet Riu on holiday, besides praying to Luang Pho Sothon, another sacred place that I, Sookjai, would like you to check in at is the "City Pillar Shrine of Chachoengsao." This place is not only a spiritual center for the people in the province but also a symbol of unity conveyed through amazing architecture.
What makes the City Pillar Shrine of Paet Riu outstanding and different from others is the perfect coexistence of Thai and Chinese architecture. When you step into this area, you will see an elegant white Thai-style building with a prang (spire), which houses the sacred city pillar. However, in the same area, you will also find a Chinese shrine standing harmoniously side by side.
This Chinese shrine is beautiful with dragon patterns and traditional Chinese art. The bright colors contrast with the simplicity of the white city pillar shrine. The convergence of these two beliefs in the same area reflects the history of the people of Paet Riu, where both Thai and Thai-Chinese people have lived together peacefully for a long time.
The atmosphere around the City Pillar Shrine is peaceful, located near the Bang Pakong River, making it breezy and cool throughout the day. It is perfect for bringing the family to stroll, soak in the classic atmosphere, and pay respects for good fortune before returning home. If you like taking pictures of unique architecture, I, Sookjai, recommend this place!
