| Ang Thong |
Well known amongst the Thai as the important outpost of Ayuttaya during the Thai-Burmese war, marking a historical event of 'Bang Rachan' (also made into a movie production).
Similar to Suphan Buri's location, Ang Thong was also shifted eventually landing at the left bank of The Chaophray River at Ban Bangkheo and being called Muang Ang Thong.
Muang Ang Thong's location has been blessed with fertile soil for rice farming and abundance of fish produce, making its name as traditionally believed as Treasure City.
The city occupies 968 sq. kilometers and is located 108 kilometers from Bangkok and 35 kilometers from Ayuttaya. |
