Pathum Thani Province

Pathum Thani is a neighbouring province of Bangkok. It is situated on the Chao Phraya basin with plenty of canals and orange plantations. Its original name is Muang Sam Khok, which was founded during the Ayutthaya era. It was the settlement for the Mon people migrating from Mothama (in Myanmar) over 350 years ago. In the year 1815 when King Rama II made a royal visit to this area, the inhabitants offered him plenty of lotus flowers which is the origin of the present name.

The Pathum Thani Town is only 46 kms. from Bangkok. It occupies an area of 1,525 square kilometres.

Pathum Thani is administratively divided into 7 districts (Amphoes): Muang Pathum Thani, Lab Lum Kayo, Sam Khok, Thanyaburi, Nong Sua, Khlong Lung, and Lam Luk Ka.
