Economy and Importance

Economic development here is not as advanced as in Khon Kaen or Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat). The people here mainly grow fruits and vegetables that they sell at the local market.

history

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

The place was a transit station for the Khmer and Laotian troops from the earliest days of Sukhothai . Perhaps that is why there was a hospital here as early as the 12th century. Later she was subject to the local principality of Nakhon Ratchasima. The commander Phraya Phakdi Chumphon renounced this supremacy and handed the city (then still Ban Luang) to King Nang Klao ( Rama III. ) In 1824 . In gratitude, he became the first head of the city renamed Chaiyaphum. When the Laotians launched an attack on Bangkok a short time later, Phraya Phakdi Chumphon, among others, opposed them. The Laotians were repulsed, but the remainder were able to take the poorly defended Chaiyaphum. In the fighting that followed, Phraya Chumphon was killed.

Attractions

  • Statue of Phraya Phakdi Chumphon - the statue stands on the site of his murder by Laotian troops.
  • Prang Ku - the city's oldest religious building, is a sandstone structure with an old Buddha statue . It has been used as a hospital since the 12th century.
