Chum Phae

Chum Phae is an administrative district in northeastern Thailand within Khon Kaen province and consists of twelve subdistricts spread across rural settlements. The landscape includes both flat areas and gently rolling terrain typical of this region.

The district was officially recognized in 1943 through publication in the Royal Gazette and grew from its original four subdistricts to its present structure. This expansion reflects how the administrative boundaries changed over the years.

Local markets throughout the area display traditional handcrafts and regional dishes typical of Isaan cuisine, reflecting daily life and food traditions here.

The district has road networks connecting it to neighboring regions, making travel between towns relatively straightforward. Visitors will find basic services and accommodations in the various villages.

Archaeological findings at Non Mueang show settlements from the Dvaravati period, revealing ancient human presence in this area. These early traces suggest the region has been inhabited for many centuries.
