Rayong- City Attractions

Phra Chao Taksin Shrine
Located in the grounds of Wat Lum Mahachai Chumphon, the Shrine marks the spot where General, later King, Taksin and his followers once made camp after the fall of Ayutthaya in the late 18th century. Within the Shrine is a standing statue of the great monarch, while the 300-year-old Satue tree is believed to be the very tree to which Taksin once tethered his elephant.
