Thailand bets on infrastructure
The sleepy provincial town of Chachoengsao is a pleasant weekend getaway from the Thai capital, Bangkok. Perched on the banks of the Bang Pakong River, a 90-minute drive east of the capital, its charms include the revered Buddhist temple known as Wat Sothonwararam and the picturesque countryside beyond, made up of coconut plantations and fish farms that extend all the way to Chonburi and the Gulf of Thailand.
