Thailand - Sriracha ( Si Racha )

Photo Gallery of Sriracha ( Si Racha ) in Thailand.

The view from the hill in Koh Loy in Sriracha. A temple with a orangish roof and a dock around a building with a reddish roof.

Si Racha (Sriracha) is a coastal city in the province Chonburi, Thailand.
It's located at the Gulf of Thailand, about 100 kilometers or 60 miles south-east of Bangkok.
( Pattaya is about 30km south and Bang Saen is about 10 km north of Siracha. )

You can see a Thai-Chinese temple called Wat Ko Loi on the island called Koh Loy (Loy Island) which is connected with the mainland by a long causeway. You also can enjoy zoos; Khao Khew Open Zoo and Si Racha Tiger Zoo.
Sri Racha is the home of famous spicy sauce Naam Phrik Sii Raachaa.

I didn't notice that when I visited here in January, 2010, but many Japanese work on the nearby industrial estates and more than two thousand Japanese (their families, expatriate employees, and business travellers) live in the area. That's why this area, Sri racha, has a Japanese school like in Bangkok.

済公閣 1 Chinese characters "済公閣" on the roof and "済公殿" inside.	済公閣 2 Dragons are decorated on the roof.	済公閣 3 The view of the inside. The statue maybe is from the story of Chinese eight hermits 中国八仙人 because of the pictures 八仙渡海 on the wall. (Han Zhongli 漢鐘離 ? because he has a fan. )	済公閣 4 Columns and the roof are decorated beautifully.
