The province and city of Ang Thong lie ~100kms to the north of Bangkok, a largely agricultural region of Thailand. Outside the provincial capital is a Buddhist 'theme' park, housed in the grounds of a Wat, which is to say, there are several Buddhist temples, a 'Big Buddha' statue, and lots of amusements, such as balloons to pop, swings to play on, and food to eat, fun for the whole family. As this is a Buddhist centre, there are also a lot of bells for parishioners to ring.
These bells are set in lines where visitors can walk along, ringing each bell (very loud) if you wish. There are several of these 'lines', I suspect that they are moved from time to time as the different exhibits are changed. However, being a Thai Buddhist Wat, there will always be bells here to ring. A small donation is part of the ritual.
