Wat Saman Rattanaram

The temple complex features multiple large statues, including a 16-meter pink Ganesha figure and representations of Guanyin, Indra, and Brahma along the Bang Pakong River.

The temple was constructed in the 1980s to showcase both Buddhist and Hindu deities, reflecting the traditional religious integration found throughout Thailand.

Visitors participate in a special ritual by selecting one of eight rat statues based on their birth date to whisper their wishes to Ganesha.

Located 90 kilometers east of Bangkok, the temple can be reached by taking a train to Chachoengsao Junction Railway Station followed by a taxi ride.

The temple grounds contain a replica of Myanmar's Golden Rock, which houses a pagoda containing what is believed to be a hair of Buddha.
