About — Sing Buri
Sing Buri is a small central-plains province on the Chao Phraya River, and most people picture two things first: the Bang Rachan heroes who stood and fought until the story became part of the town's identity, and Mae La snakehead fish, famous for firm, sweet flesh and now the local dish people come for. The town isn't far from Ang Thong and Lopburi, so you can drive in for a day trip and head home by evening, or string it together with the nearby provinces for an easy two-day temple run.
Beyond the history, Sing Buri has plenty of old temples scattered along the river, including Wat Phra Non Chakkrasi with its long reclining Buddha and Wat Phikun Thong with its huge Buddha image. In between it's rice fields and orchards, one after another. It's an unhurried province: see the temples, hear the Bang Rachan story, then track down Mae La snakehead fish and roadside local food without rushing.
