| According to legend King Ramathibodi I found a beautiful conch buried in the ground, and chose the site as the place for his future capital. He then placed the conch on a pedestral tray and built a pavilion around it. The seal shows this pavilion with the provincial tree behind it.
The provincial flower is Sesbania aculeata , and the provincial tree is the Fragrant Manjack (Cordia dichotoma). The city's slogan can be translated as "ancient city of plenty, poetry and patriotism". |
The province is subdivided into sixteen districts ( amphoe), 209 communes ( tambon) and 1328 villages (mubaan). There are two districts which have the same english name, however this is only because the different pronunciation and thus different spelling in Thai gets lost in romanization.
