That Phanom, Administrative district in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand
That Phanom extends over 367.9 square kilometers along the Mekong River, featuring fertile agricultural lands and traditional residential neighborhoods divided into twelve sub-districts.
The district, formerly known as Renu Nakhon until 1917, contains Wat Phra That Phanom temple, which houses Buddha's breast bone brought from India 2,500 years ago.
The annual Buddha relic festival occurs during the third lunar month, drawing Buddhist pilgrims from Thailand and Laos for six days of continuous celebrations.
The district provides transportation options including local buses and motorcycle rentals, while offering both modern facilities and traditional markets for residents and visitors.
That Phanom stands out as the sole region in northeastern Thailand where local metalworkers transform scrap metal into machetes through community enterprises.
