Thai Language Sage of Paet Riu! Check-in at the "Noi Acharyangkun" Monument on your day off If anyone is walking around the Paet Riu City Pillar Shrine and sees a monument that looks majestic and full of charm, Sookjai would like you to take a moment to get to know "Noi Acharyangkun" or, as we know him, Phraya Si Sunthonwohan, the great sage of the Thai language that the world should remember.
Connection to Paet Riu: He is a "native of Paet Riu" born in Ban Khlong Suan, Chachoengsao Province in 2365 B.E. He is the founder of Thai education, as the author of the first royal textbook called "Munlabotbanpakit," which Thai children used to learn to read and write Thai extensively. He is considered a "master teacher" whom the people of Chachoengsao greatly respect.
Visit and take pictures on your day off: His monument is located in the heart of Chachoengsao (near the Chaturamuk Pavilion). The monument is cast in metal in a sitting position, holding a Thai book that looks serious but kind. The surrounding area is a clean garden and beautifully decorated.
Recommended photo angles: The light in the morning or evening is very beautiful because the monument will stand out against the Paet Riu sky. If you shoot from a wide angle, you will see the elegance of the surrounding architecture, or you can shoot in-depth at the monument to capture the classic atmosphere of the old town.
On this day off, if you have come to worship Luang Pho Sothon, please take a moment to pay homage and take pictures at the Phraya Si Sunthonwohan Monument. In addition to getting beautiful pictures back, you can also commemorate the importance of the Thai language that he created for us to use until today!
