World’s Tallest Standing Ganesha Statue: Khlong Khuean Ganesh International Park

Khlong Khuean Ganesh International Park, located in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand, along the Bang Pakong River, is a 40,000-square-meter spiritual and cultural site dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the Hindu deity of wisdom and success. Established in 2012, it blends Hindu, Buddhist, and Chinese elements, serving as a pilgrimage and tourism hub.

The park features serene gardens, shrines, a local history museum, and a riverside coffee shop, with free entry for Thai nationals (100 Baht for foreigners) and daily hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The park’s centerpiece is the world’s tallest standing Ganesha statue, a 39-meter (128-foot) bronze figure crafted from 854 pieces. Depicting Ganesha with four arms holding jackfruit, sugarcane, banana, and mango—symbolizing prosperity, joy, nourishment, and wisdom—it stands on a lotus base with a rat (his vehicle) and smaller Ganesha figures. Illuminated at night, it’s a striking symbol of protection over the river and community.

In Hindu mythology, Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to a popular tale, Parvati created Ganesha from sandalwood paste to guard her while bathing. When Shiva, unaware of Ganesha’s identity, was denied entry, he beheaded Ganesha in anger. To console Parvati, Shiva replaced Ganesha’s head with that of an elephant and blessed him as the remover of obstacles and lord of beginnings, revered for wisdom and success.

The park is outside of Chachoengsao about 20 minutes but worth the time to go see it if you are in the area. It can be combined with visits to other sites in the area.
