Trace back Paet Riu! Stroll and take photos in the old town area, from Phanit Road to the beautiful Prachin Buri Provincial Building In addition to the chill atmosphere along the Bang Pakong River, Paet Riu or Chachoengsao also has a treasure trove of history hidden in the "Old Town Area," waiting for street photographers and photography enthusiasts to explore. Sookjai tells you that the walking route in this area will make you have fun and forget about time, and get beautiful and unique classic photos.
Start at "Phanit Road," a historical road that has been a commercial center since the past. Along both sides are old shophouses with unique identities. Some buildings still retain traces of prosperity through stucco patterns and old wooden shutters. As you walk along, you will find "Talat Sapsin" (Crown Property Market), which is still bustling and lively. The sunlight shining through the building contrasts with the colors of vegetables, fruits, and savory and sweet foods, making it a Street Photography angle that is very heartwarming.
Phanit Road has two sections. The section next to the Bang Pakong River is 300 meters long and is considered the medical hub of Paet Riu, because there are clinics from dentistry to neurosurgery. Minor surgeries can be completed. In total, there are almost 40 clinics. Very amazing.
And the important highlight that you shouldn't miss is the "Prachin Buri Provincial Hall" (currently the Crown Property Bureau Office, Chachoengsao Province), a conservation building with a creamy yellow color and white borders in a Western style that looks elegant and architecturally valuable. The building is well maintained, allowing us to see the exquisite details of the craftsmen of the past clearly. It is a landmark that you must stop and press the shutter.
Walking around these old areas will not only get you beautiful photos to post on social media, but it is also an absorption of the stories of Paet Riu through living buildings. This holiday, try changing the atmosphere from going to a cafe to walking and taking pictures in the old town area of Paet Riu. Then you will know how magical the charm of "yesterday" is!
