Ang Thongอ่างทอง
One day covers the Great Buddha, Wat Sang Kratai and a river boat; add a half‑day if you want court dolls or extra temple time.
Ang Thong is a small central‑Thailand city on the Noi River, known for the 92 m Great Buddha, historic temples and river‑boat tours. Its sights cluster within a few kilometres, so a single day is enough for the main attractions, with optional extra time for crafts or additional temples.
