Chai Nat

The Chainat province encompasses fertile lands where multiple rivers intersect, creating a network of waterways that support local agriculture and daily life.

During the Sukhothai period from 1317 to 1336, Chainat served as a critical southern military outpost, second only to Phanthumwadi in strategic importance.

The province maintains traditional craftsmanship through local organizations that produce wickerwork, woven textiles, molded items, and distinctive Benjarong ceramics.

Visitors can reach Chainat via regular air-conditioned buses departing from Bangkok Northern Bus Terminal, with a journey time of approximately two and a half hours.

The Chao Phraya Dam, constructed as Thailand's first major water management structure, stands as an engineering milestone in the province.
