A
province in the Lower North, Uttaradit has a long history developing
through the years since pre-history time. The site of original town,
then called Bang Pho Tha It, was located on the right bank of the Nan
river. It flourished as a port for goods transportation. As a result,
King Rama V elevated its status into a province and re-named it Uttaradit,
literally the port of the north.
