Pathum Thani is a neighboring 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. Pathum Thani Town is
only 46 kms. from Bangkok. It occupies an area of about 1,565 square
kilometers and is administratively divided into 7 districts (Amphoes):
Muang Pathum Thani, Lat Lum Kaeo, Sam Khok, Thanyaburi, Nong Sua, Khlong
Luang, and Lam Luk Ka.
