Prasong

Prasong lies in the Tha Chana country of the Malay Peninsula, where streams descend from western hills towards the Gulf of Siam. Alluvial lowlands along these waters provided land for settlements and cultivation. Local tradition connects Tha Chana with the Burmese invasion of Siam during the Nine Armies War: a Siamese victory was remembered in the placing of victory markers beside the canal, and in the name of the district itself.
