historical park is located away from the new Si Satchanalai, surrounded by
communities that are quite dense. They are Central Thai-style residences such
as houses in rural gardens and adjacent to the river. They are not the tropical
gardens that you have found at luxury resorts or tourist attractions, but original
Thai gardens, filled with fruits such as mangos, bananas, papayas, and guavas.
Thai people's gardens are edible. Do not focus on the aesthetic.
