Thung Yang

Thung Yang is an old settlement near Laplae, west of the Nan River. Its ancient enclosure and revered relic temple, Wat Phra Borommathat Thung Yang, recall a town associated with the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya periods. In 1740 King Borommakot of Ayutthaya ordered the temple hall and enclosing wall rebuilt, and the restoration was celebrated with three days and nights of festivities.

The later city of Uttaradit lies here.
