Pathum Thani Province จังหวัดปทุมธานี

Pathum Thani Province จังหวัดปทุมธานี is a province in the Central Region of Thailand. It covers 1,526 sq km (589 sq mi) and has a population of over one million people. It ranks 69th in terms of size, but 7th in terms of population density, among the 76 provinces of the country.

Pathum Thani is bordered by Ayutthaya Province to the north, Saraburi Province to the northeast, Nakhon Nayok Province to the east, Chachoengsao Province to the southeast, Bangkok to the south and Nonthaburi Province to the west. Being immediately north of Bangkok, it is today quite developed, with the urban sprawl of Bangkok continuing into Pathum Thani.

Pathum Thani Province was formerly known as Sam Khok. It was renamed in 1815, on the occasion of the visit by King Rama II, when the king renamed it to mean "city of lotus". The province comprises mostly of alluvial plains on both sides of the Chao Phraya River. It is subdivided into 7 districts or amphoe, namely Mueang Pathum Thani (Pathum Thani Town), Khlong Luang, Thanyaburi, Nong Suea, Lat Lum Kaeo, Lam Luk Ka and Sam Khok.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
