Nam Phi iron mine, Iron ore mine in Nam Phi, Thailand.

The Nam Phi iron mine features multiple extraction ponds and furnaces spread across the mining complex, with Bo Phra Saeng and Bo Phra Khan as primary locations.

During the Sukhothai Period, the mine supplied steel for weapon production, establishing itself as a crucial resource center for military equipment manufacturing.

Local craftsmen transform the mine's steel into amulets following traditional techniques, continuing a practice that connects present-day artisans with historical manufacturing methods.

Located 56 kilometers from downtown, visitors reach the mine via Highway 11 and Provincial Highway 1244, with clear directional signs leading to Wat Nam Phi.

The steel extracted from Nam Phi displays exceptional durability against rust, making it a preferred material for manufacturing long-lasting metal products.
