 Chainat 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.
Chainat
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
Chainat
which
means
a
place
of
victory. |
