In Hinduism, Ganesha is the god of wisdom and prosperity as well as the patron of the arts. At Ganesha Park in Nakhon Nayok province, you will see two huge statues of the deity placed close to each other. The sight is certainly very impressive. Equally impressive is the Black Ganesha, a beautifully preserved statue over eight hundred years old.

Phuttha Utthayan Makha Bucha Anusorn is an open-air temple whose main feature is the 1,250 gilded statues of a praying Buddha placed side by side. The place is better known to pilgrims than tourists and you are unlikely to see large tour groups, but you are bound to see locals praying or meditating here.

Now let's head deep into the park to enjoy the beauty of nature. Although Wang Takrai is called a waterfall, it is more like a mountain river with rapids. Nevertheless, the place looks very impressive and is worth a visit. On a hot day, you can follow the locals' example and take a swim.

Khao Yai is a huge natural park included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The park stretches over two thousand square kilometers. As you drive through, you will notice how dense thickets alternate with meadows or a mountain range. And to get a better look at the surroundings, it is definitely worth climbing up to one of the viewing platforms, located on a hill.

The house on giant log stilts is actually an observation tower. Climbing up the stairs to the platform, you can view the vast green panorama of the surrounding countryside and watch the fauna hidden in the tall grass.

Would you agree that today, while imbibing the traditions of Buddhism and enjoying the wilderness, you could hardly imagine that you would be dining in a European restaurant with a very extensive rifle? Prime 19 is an institution that serves juicy steaks for which you can choose your own meat.
