The
heroic deeds of Bang Rachan villagers, who bravely fought
the Burmese in 1765 (the theme of a popular recent movie),
are commemorated in a pleasant arboretum, containing a
replica of their old fortress. The province is famous
for its freshwater fish, with specialty restaurants catering
the many hungry visitors. |
