Chaiyaphum Thailand
Considered to be centrally located in Thailand, Chaiyaphum
has an abundance of natural attractions and is famous
for its beautiful flower fields, particularly the Krachiao
Flower Blooming Festival during the months of June-July.
Chaiyaphum's size, with majority of it being forests
and mountains, ranks third in the region and eighth
in the country.
The town was founded by a group of Vientiane immigrants,
led by Nai Lae, a nobleman, during the beginning of
the Rattanakosin era over 2 centuries ago. Within a
decade, King Rama III promoted Nai Lae to Phraya Phakdi
Chumphon and made him the citys first lord. When
the Lord of Vientiane led a rebellion against King Rama
III in 1826, he helped Khunying Mo successfully defend
Nakhon Ratchasima from the seige.
