| SAKON NAKHON |
| |
Sakhon Nakhon is a three thousand years old Buddhist town, the location of 5 shrines of Buddhist rilics. The province was formerly named "Nong Han", was built in the 16th Buddhist Century when Khom Empire still has the power on the area.
|
| |
|
After the Khom power has faded, Nong Han was ruled by Lan Chang Kingdom and was renamed "Chiang Mai Nong Han". It can be assumed that Nong Han has a long relationship with Vientiane. The power of Rattanakosin Dynasty from Bangkok can be seen in 1778. |
The province is called "Sakon Twa Pi" in the reign of King Rama III, who finally renamed it to "Sakon Nakhon". The province is a location of interesting attractions such as Phrathat Choeng Chum (buddha relic shrine), Phra Tamnak Phuphan (royal palace), Nong Han (lake), Prasat Phueng, etc.
