Travel Destinations - Uttradit Province
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.
