Uthaithani Province
During the Sukhothai period, Thao Mahaphom established this town at Ban Uthai kao after called “Muang U Thai”. It was later abandoned when the river changed course. Patabeut, a member of the Karen ethnicity, revived the settlement at here during the Ayutthaya period. It served as a fort protecting the boundary of the kingdom then.
It renamed the city from its old name Uthai to Uthai Thani later. In 1892 King Rama V added the area of Uthai Thani to the Monthon Nakhon Sawan, and in 1933 announced to Uthaithani province.
Uthaithani province is covering area about 6,730 square kilometres and its population is about 326,000 persons. There are attractive places such as Sa Kae Kang mountain, Huay Kar Khaeng Wildlife sanctuary, Kao Klong Chai cave and Hin-Lath waterfall.
