พระพุทธมหานวมินทรศากยมุนีศรีวิเศษชัยชาญ
The largest statue in Thailand, standing at 92 meters, constructed in 2008. The statue is located in Wat Muang which has many temples and exhibitions of hell and heaven. There are also many shops that sell food and other things around the area.
วัดสังกระต่าย
A 400-year old temple that was abandoned after the Second Fall of Ayutthaya. Today, the banyan trees grow and cover part of the temple, similar to Ta Prohm (although much smaller) in Cambodia. Some vendors around the area food during the weekends.
วัดขุนอินทประมูล
Massive reclining Buddha built during the Ayutthaya period that is 50 meters long, the second largest in Thailand.
Boat trips along the Noi river, a tributary of the Chao Praya river, can be arranged at the Red Cross Center in Ang Thong (ศูนย์สภากาชาดไทยเวชพาหน์เฉลิมพระเกียรติ) during the weekends to see the livelihoods of the local communities along the river. There is also an opportunity to view the baya weavers that migrate to the area in May. One boat costs 1,000 baht and can fit five people. To arrange a boat, contact the local sub-district authorities in advance at either 035-669-241 หรือ 084-540-8351. A trip takes around two hours and there are four routes to choose from, some ending further up north while others end in Ayutthaya in the south.
If you like adventures and good food, try to find this place (and when you do, enter its info here). This is an old restaurant known for its pad Thai made the old-fashioned way, with the noodles fried in a mixture of tamarind juice and sugar over a wood fire that is not too hot. Once the cooked noodles are on the plate, pieces of sour star fruit or raw mango are sprinkled on top. Besides its well known pad Thai, the shop also offers Thai-style kui tio moo, which contains only ground pork, either in a sour-spicy tom yum broth or "dry", without broth.
ศูนย์ตุ๊กตาชาววังบ้านบางเสด็จ
Located inside Wat Tha Suththawas, this is a museum and shop showing traditional Thai dolls mirroring the palace life in the past. The project was created as part of a way to provide the local community, at the time affected by flooding, with an alternative source of income.angthong.go.th/2564/initiative/detail/4/data.html/?oid=4
