If you’re looking for accommodation in Ban Nong Ri, it helps to check its exact location in the Chonburi area. A specific cultural landmark nearby is Wat Nong Ri, with its temple pond and Guanyin statue.

The pond behind Wat Nong Ri

Behind the temple is a pond where the Guanyin statue stands. Local history connects this site with a pond that was once oval-shaped and held water year-round. It served as a resting place for carts, cattle, and buffalo, and as a source of water for travelers.

Residents called the area Nong Ri; the village that developed there was named Ban Nong Ri. The historic pond was later incorporated into the pond at Wat Nong Ri. If you plan to visit the temple, check current access and the exact address for your visit.

Getting your bearings on the highway

In Nong Ri Subdistrict, the Department of Highways also describes a small rest area on Highway 7 near the Ban Bueng interchange. It lists parking, a rest pavilion, and public toilets. The rest areas serve the respective directions of travel, so plan your access based on your specific route.

Match your accommodation to your stops

The temple and the highway rest area are different landmarks. Compare the accommodation address with your intended destination rather than assuming a short or walkable connection based on the similar place names. Check the current listing details and the best route before booking.
