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”.
