Geography Chai Nat is on the flat river plain of central Thailand's Chao Phraya River valley. In the south of the province the Chao Phraya Dam (formerly Chai Nat Dam) impounds the Chao Phraya River, both for flood control as well as to divert water into the country's largest irrigation system for the irrigation of rice paddies in the lower river valley. The dam, part of the Greater Chao Phraya Project, was finished in 1957 and was the first dam constructed in Thailand.
History Chai Nat was first established during the Ayutthaya period and was used as a successful base of operations for confronting the Burmese army. As the Burmese were defeated every time, the area earned the name Chai Nat, 'place of victory'.
Symbols The provincial seal shows a dhammachakka and in the background a mountain. It refers to the Dhammachak Buddha image housed in the wihaan of Wat Dhammamoen, built on the slope of a mountain. The provincial tree is the Bael fruit tree (Aegle marmelos), and the provincial flower the Rainbow Shower tree (Cassia javanica). The slogan of the province is "Venerable Luang Pu Suk, renowned Chao Phraya Dam, famous bird park and tasty khao taengkwa pomelo".

Nonthaburi
15 July 2020
Reviews. Nonthaburi is over 400 years old, dating from when Ayutthaya was the capital, and is a province immediately to the north of Bangkok lying on the Basin of Chao Phraya River. The town was originally located at Ban Talat Khwan, an area of canals and fruit orchards, but was moved twice by royal order in later centuries. Nonthaburi is now effectively a suburb of Bangkok.
