Thais are very passionate about football. Port FC fans are among the most passionate in the league and they love to travel to support the team.
In this video we take a ride on the super fan bus with the Port FC supporters to Pratchup Khiri Khan.
Port hasn’t won on the road to here since 2021 and with them sitting in second place in the league everyone is hoping for the best.
Prachuap Khiri Khan is a coastal city about 4 to 5 hours south of Bangkok. It’s famous for being the home of the 3 bays. In addition to the 3 bays, featuring some very nice beaches, the town has a very traditional seaside with old wooden homes and businesses. Prachuap Khiri Khan is a great place to spend a few days relaxing on the beach and eating fresh seafood.
This game is one all Port fans circle on the calendar for this great away game by the sea.

Khlong Khuean Ganesh International Park, located in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand, along the Bang Pakong River, is a 40,000-square-meter spiritual and cultural site dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the Hindu deity of wisdom and success. Established in 2012, it blends Hindu, Buddhist, and Chinese elements, serving as a pilgrimage and tourism hub.
The park features serene gardens, shrines, a local history museum, and a riverside coffee shop, with free entry for Thai nationals (100 Baht for foreigners) and daily hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The park’s centerpiece is the world’s tallest standing Ganesha statue, a 39-meter (128-foot) bronze figure crafted from 854 pieces. Depicting Ganesha with four arms holding jackfruit, sugarcane, banana, and mango—symbolizing prosperity, joy, nourishment, and wisdom—it stands on a lotus base with a rat (his vehicle) and smaller Ganesha figures.

Wat Pho Bang Khla (วัดโพธิ์บางคล้า), often called the “Temple of the Flying Foxes,” is a historic Buddhist temple located in Bang Khla District, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. Situated along the serene Bang Pakong River, it’s about 23 km southeast of Chachoengsao city center and roughly 1.5–2 hours’ drive from Bangkok.
This temple blends spiritual tranquility with a unique natural spectacle, making it a hidden gem for visitors seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience away from Thailand’s more crowded tourist sites.
Built during the late 18th century (around 1767–1807), the temple dates back to the era of King Taksin the Great, who reportedly passed through the area with his army after the fall of Ayutthaya to the Burmese in 1767.

Khlong Suan 100 Years Market (Thai: ตลาดคลองสวน 100 ปี, pronounced “Klong Suan Roi Pee”) is a historic waterfront marketplace that offers a glimpse into Thailand’s canal-side trading past. Dating back to the reign of King Rama V (late 19th to early 20th century), it was originally a bustling hub for travelers and traders along the Khlong Prawet Burirom canal, which connected Chachoengsao to Bangkok via boat services like the one run by Nai Loet (later known as Lert Sresthaputra, namesake of Bangkok’s Nailert Park). The market declined with the rise of roads and cars but was revived in 1999 and rebranded to highlight its century-old heritage. Today, it’s a “living museum” popular with local Thais for its authentic vibe, though it remains off the radar for most foreign tourists.
Unlike touristy floating markets, this one is a traditional land-based affair along the canal banks, with wooden shophouses in Sino-Thai style perched precariously on stilts. It spans both ...
