Wat Pa Kho (วัดป่าโค, also spelled Wat Pa Ko or Wat Pa Koh) is a lesser-known but historically interesting active Buddhist temple in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Unlike the more famous ruined temples in the central Historical Park (like Wat Mahathat or Wat Phra Si Sanphet), this one remains in use by monks and the local community.
The temple dates back to the late Ayutthaya period, built around B.E. 2100 (approximately 1557 or mid-16th century).
It was originally part of a meditation (vipassana) lineage of temples in the Ayutthaya area.
The name “Pa Kho” translates to “Cattle Forest” or “Cattle Quarter/Market” in English. “Pa” means forest/wood, and “Kho” refers to cattle (วัวควาย or oxen/buffaloes).

The area was once called Ban Sala Kaeo ...

Situated in the Tha Pradu subdistrict along Taksin Maharat Road, this beach serves as a popular local escape rather than a major tourist destination, offering a genuine Thai seaside vibe where families, locals, and visitors from nearby Bangkok come to unwind, enjoy fresh seafood, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere.

The area benefits from its proximity to the Rayong River and a nearby fishing harbor, where colorful boats dock and fresh catches are brought in daily. This connection has helped establish the beach as a go-to spot for seafood lovers, with many restaurants drawing from traditions that emphasize simple, high-quality preparations of local marine bounty.
Over time, it has evolved ...
