Ang Thong is a small
province on the bank of the Chao Phraya
River. The former settlement is at Wiset
Chai Chan on the bank of the Noi River.
It was an essential frontier outpost of
Ayutthaya when fighting with the Burmese.
The majority of the people was later moved
to a new site on the left bank of the Chao
Phraya River during the Thon Buri period.
Ang Thong is located 108 kilometres
north of Bangkok. It occupies an area
of 968 square kilometres and is administratively
divided into seven districts (Amphoes):
Mueang Ang Thong, Chaiyo, Pa Mok, Pho
Thong, Sawaeng Ha, Wiset Chai Chan and
Samko.
