Lat Yao, Administrative district in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand.
Lat Yao is an administrative district in Nakhon Sawan province comprising twelve sub-districts with 149 villages spread across the landscape. The area sits at low elevation and connects to neighboring districts through road networks.
The district was established in 1913 when Khun Lat Boriban proposed its formation to the provincial governor, separating it from the former Krok Phra district. The territory took its name from this influential figure who initiated the administrative reorganization.
Local markets throughout the district serve as gathering places where residents buy and sell goods in their everyday routines. These spaces form the social backbone of community life.
The district is accessible through road connections to nearby areas including Khanu Woralaksaburi, Banphot Phisai, and Mueang Nakhon Sawan. Getting around requires local transportation as villages are spread out across the landscape.
The Sakrae Krang River winds through the district and has long served as vital to local life for water and daily activities. Today conversations focus on managing water flow and protecting forest areas alongside its banks.
