Saraburi Province in Brief history

    Saraburi has been an important city since ancient times. It is assumed to have been established approximately in 1549 during the reign of King Maha Chakkraphat of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. It is assumed that the king had ordered to combine some parts of Lop Buri and Nakhon Nayok together and set up Saraburi province with an aim to be a centre for mobilizing the citizens during times of war. Therefore, from the Ayutthaya period, the story of Saraburi has usually related to battles and wars. As for the origin of the word “Saraburi”, it is assumed that due to its location near a swamp called “Bueng Nong Ngong”, when the town was established a combination of “Sa”-a swamp- and “Buri”-a town was suggested and the town was named “Saraburi”.
   Saraburi is approximately 107 kilometres from Bangkok. Its administration is divided into 13 districts; namely, Amphoe Mueang, Amphoe Nong Saeng, Amphoe Sao Hai, Amphoe Ban Mo, Amphoe Phra Phutthabat, Amphoe Nong Don, Amphoe Kaeng Khoi, Amphoe Muak Lek, Amphoe Wang Muang, Amphoe Wihan Daeng, Amphoe Nong Khae, Amphoe Don Phut and Amphoe Chaloem Phra Kiat, covering a total area of approximately 3,576 square kilometres.
