 A
province in the Lower North, Uttradit has a long history developing
through the years since pre-historic time.
The site of the original town, then called Bang Pho Tha It, was
located on the right bank of the Nan River. It flourished as a port
for goods transportation. As a result, King Rama V elevated its
status into a province and re-named it Uttradit, literally the Port
of the North.
Uttradit is located 491 kilometres from Bangkok and covers an
area of 7,838 square kilometres and is divided into the following
districts: Muang, Tron, Laplae, Phichai, Tha Pla, Nam Pat, Fak Tha,
Ban Khok, and Thong Saen Khan.
