| UTTARADIT 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.
