Nakhon Sawan Province :
Considered as the doorway of the north, Nakhon Sawan is an
ancient city located in the north-central part of Thailand. This region has a
rich cultural history and is also known as Pak Nam Pho. Due to its pristine
natural beauty, the land is considered as the heavenly abode of Gods. Nakhon
Sawan Province is the point where Ping, Wang, Nan and Yom rivers join together to form
Chao Phraya River, the most important waterway of Thailand.
There are several tourist hot
spots spread over the entire region. Prominent among these are Khao No-Khao
Kaeo, a limestone mountain and Khao Tham Phra. These mountains have large
ancient Buddhist caves, stalactites and stalagmites. Wat Bang Mafo, Wat Tham
Phon Sawan and Chao Pho Thepharak-Chao
Mae Thapthim are some of the valuable ancient temples and shrines of the
region. Chan Sen and Khok Mai Den are some of the ancient cities, which
represent the rich heritage of this region. The best tourist destination is the
origin of Chao Phraya River. It is fascinating to watch the reddish colored Nan
River meeting the greenish colored Ping River. Boat rides are available to
enable the tourists to view the enchanting scenery on both the banks.
