Nakhon Sawan

Nakhon Sawan Province is a province in the lower northern part of Thailand, often referred to as the "Gateway to the North." It is famous as the confluence point of four major rivers – Ping, Wang, Yom, and Nan – which merge to form the Chao Phraya River, Thailand's vital waterway. The province is also known for its significant Chinese-Thai community and vibrant annual Chinese New Year celebrations.

 

Interesting tourist attractions when visiting Nakhon Sawan include:

  • Pak Nam Pho (Confluence of Four Rivers): The exact point where the Ping, Wang, Yom, and Nan rivers meet to form the Chao Phraya River, a significant natural and historical landmark. You can take a boat trip to see this phenomenon.
  • Bueng Boraphet: The largest freshwater lake in Thailand, a significant wetland area home to diverse bird species and aquatic life. Boat tours are available.
  • Sawan Park: A large and popular public park in the city, offering recreational activities, a lake, and beautiful landscaping.
  • Wat Khiriwong: A temple perched on a hill, offering panoramic views of Nakhon Sawan city and the surrounding landscape, especially beautiful at sunset.
  • Chao Pho Thepharak - Chao Mae Thapthim Shrine: A highly revered Chinese shrine located on a floating house at the confluence, central to local beliefs and festivals.

It is easily accessible by train or bus from Bangkok, with the journey typically taking around 3-4 hours.
