UTTARADIT
Uttaradit, cover an area of 7,838 square kilometres, is a province in
the lower North of Thailand. Prominent landmarks include Sila Asna
bedstead, the mystical legend of Mueang Laplae, sweet langsat, and
birthplace of the valiant and patriotic hero Phraya Phichai Dap Hak,
who fought alongside King Taksin the Great.
Uttaradit has a long history, proven by discovery of artefacts, dating
back to pre-historic times, down to the Ayutthaya and Thon Buri
periods. Mueang Phichai and Sawangkhaburi were Ayutthaya’s most
strategic outposts. The site of the original town, then called Bang Pho
Tha It, which was Mueang Phichai’s dependency, was located on the
right bank of the Nan River. It flourished as a port for goods
transportation. As a result, King Rama V elevated its status from Tambon
or sub-district into Mueangor town but was still under Mueang Phichai.
King Rama V re-named it Uttaradit, literally the Port of the North. Later
Uttaradit became more prosperous, and its status was elevated once
again into a province. The town of Phichai became just a district under
Uttaradit.

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.
