Chaiyaphum, Administrative province in northeastern Thailand.
The province spans across the Khorat plateau with the Phetchabun mountain range cutting through its territory, featuring extensive forest coverage and numerous waterfalls.
The region emerged from Khmer Empire control in the 12th century and transformed into its current form when Lao settlers established Ban Luang in 1817.
The population maintains strong Lao cultural influences, reflected in the widespread use of the Lao language throughout the communities of Chaiyaphum.
The agricultural sector forms the economic foundation of Chaiyaphum, with extensive cultivation of rice, tapioca, sugar cane, and taro root supported by the Chulabhorn Dam irrigation system.
The province contains six national parks, including Pa Hin Ngam National Park with its distinctive rock formations and Sai Thong National Park with substantial waterfall networks.
