Chai Nat is located on the east bank
of the Chao Phraya River. The community was moved from the old
site at Sankhaburi in the reign of King Rama IV. Chai Nat was
an important town used several times as a base to confront the
Burmese army. Every time, the Burmese were defeated, thus originating
the name of Chai Nat which means a “place of victory”.
