Phayuhakhiri

Phayuha Khiri lies on the upper central plain south of Nakhon Sawan, where scattered hills rise above the Chao Phraya river country. The area contains traces of ancient settlement dating to the Dvaravati period, when communities occupied the waterways of central Thailand. Buddhist monuments and older remains testify to a long history of habitation in the region. The river flows south from the junction of the northern rivers towards the towns and fields of the lower plain.
