::''This article is about the town named Chachoengsao. For the province of the same name of which it is part of see Chachoengsao Province.'' Chachoengsao ((タイ語:ฉะเชิงเทรา) ((Pronunciation ))) is a town (''thesaban mueang'') in central Thailand, capital of the Chachoengsao Province. It is located on the bank of the Bang Pakong River. It occupies the ''tambon'' Na Mueang and parts of Ban Mai, Bang Tin Pet, Wang Takhian and Sothon of Mueang Chachoengsao district. As of 2006 it has a population of 60,893. The town was established in the year 1549 during the reign of King Maha Chakkrapat of Ayutthaya and originally used as a centre for armed force recruitment. During the reign of King Maha Thammaracha, the kingdom was in a weak condition due to being defeated by the Burmese. Phraya Lawaek, the Khmer king conscripted Thai people from several towns including Chachoengsao to be in his work force. Chachoengsao is sometimes referred to as "Paet Riu", such a name is derived from large sized fish locally caught in the past. Paet Riu literally means 8 cuts or slices which refers to the way the fish was cooked and served as a local dish in Chachoengsao. The town is about 50 km east of Bangkok and can be accessed by train.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thailandbytrain.com/EasternLine.html )〕 ==History== Chachoengsao or 'Paet Riu' is a province in the Central region. It has an old history back to the reign of King Borommatrailokkanat in the Ayutthaya period. Most of the people have settled by the Bang Pakong River and along canals. “Luangpho Phuttha Sothon” is a centre of faith of the people of Paet Riu. In the past, Chachoengsao was a fourth class city under the Ministry of Defence. During the reign of King Rama I, it was attached to the Ministry of Interior. Until the reign of King Rama V who changed the administration system, Chachoengsao became a city in the Prachin Buri Circle. In 1916, its status was changed from a city to a province. “Chachoengsao” is a Khmer word which means a deep canal. The name “Paet Riu”, which literally translates as "Eight Slices", comes from the story that the city once teemed with giant snake-head fish; up to 8 cuts were required on the sides in making sun-dried fish. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chachoengsao」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
