Phayuha Khiri

Phayuha Khiri is an administrative district in Nakhon Sawan that covers terrain marked by hills and valleys at an elevation of about 79 meters. It is organized into eleven sub-districts containing 125 villages, with the Mahidol University Nakhon Sawan Campus serving the educational needs of the area.

The district served as a strategic location and military route between Phra Bang and Chainat Buri during the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya periods. This position made it a key transit area during those historical eras.

The district's name translates to 'procession of the mountains' in Thai, reflecting the many hills that host temples and Buddhist statues. You can encounter these sacred spaces naturally while moving through the hilly landscape.

The district is easy to navigate as it is organized into sub-districts linking villages and local services. Visitors should prepare for hilly terrain and use local transportation or arrange their own mobility.

The region is known for its amulet production centers that visitors can discover while exploring the villages. This craft tradition intertwines with local agricultural handicrafts as part of the everyday economy.
