Khukhan

Khukhan lies on the southern Khorat Plateau, north of the Dangrek Mountains. Its local history connects the founding of the later town with Kuy leaders skilled in capturing wild elephants. When a white elephant escaped from Ayutthaya, hunters from the region helped recover it and were rewarded by the Siamese court. One of them, Ta Kacha, became the first ruler of Khukhan when his settlement was raised to the rank of a town.

The later city of Sisaket lies here.
