Bung Si Fai
Bung Si Fai is a large fresh-water lake to the
south of town. It is a Fishery Department's
facility to breed fresh-water. Along the banks
is a delightfully landscaped park suitable for
rest and recreation. The scenery is at its most
scenic in the early morning and late afternoon.
On the other side of the park is an aquarium
exhibiting species of native fish and local
fishing equipment. An eye-catching sight is
a gigantic, crocodile-shaped structure within
which is a space which could be used for meetings. |

on the Phichit - Wang Chik road. Built in the
Sukhothai period about 800 hundred years ago,
it features an old Ubosot built with brick and
mortar with the upper parts in wood. Instead
of windows, there are narrow openings for ventilation
throughout the walls, similar to temples of
the Ayutthaya period. In the Ubosot is a large
Sukhothai-style Buddha statue once used as the
principal statue in oath-taking ceremony pledging
allegiance to the monarch. |
