Chatturat, Administrative district in Chaiyaphum, Thailand.
Chatturat is an administrative district in Chaiyaphum Province located in northeastern Thailand, organized into nine sub-districts spread across a large territory. The area connects to major roadways that link it to other regions of the province.
The district center moved in 1826 to Nong Bua Yai because flooding threatened the original location, a shift that shaped how the region developed. This relocation established the settlement pattern that exists today.
The people here follow farming traditions that have shaped daily life for generations, marking the year with celebrations tied to planting and harvest seasons. These customs form the backbone of how communities organize their time and gather together.
The district operates in the UTC+7 time zone and is accessible via main roads throughout the region. Since the area covers a large territory spread across nine sub-districts, visitors should allow time to travel between different parts.
Nong Bua Khok is the only settlement here with township status, setting it apart from the other villages in the area. This distinction gives the place a special role as a local center.
