We had previously visited Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan on another journey - this time we stayed a little longer.
Travelfish says:
The statue is fairly small, 198 cm high and 165 cm across its lap, and is sitting in the meditation position. Legend has it that three Buddha images floated down the river from Prachinburi, the largest one ended up at Ban Laem in Samut Songkhram Province, the smallest landed at Samut Prakan, but the middle sized statue found its way to Chachoengsao. On seeing the image the townsfolk tried everything to lift it from the river however did not succeed until they built a shrine and paid homage to the image. It has since been preserved within the wat.
Unfortunately I cannot be sure that I saw this statue.
There were lots to see inside the temple.
