Information about Uthai Thani Province.

Uthai Thani city, situated on the banks of the Sakae Krang River, has a motto that reflects its identity, history, and culture: “Uthai Thani, the city of King Chakri's ancestors, delicious rhinoceros fish, the Thevo tradition, Nam Tok pomelos, Huai Kha Khaeng World Heritage Site, the source of the Sakae Krang River, and a famous cattle and buffalo market.”

Ban Sakae Krang is the original residence of Somdet Phra Pathom Borom Maha Chanok, whose original name was "Thongdi," the father of King Phutthayodfa Chulalok, the first king of the Chakri Dynasty. In remembrance of him, the area on the summit of Sakae Krang Mountain was renovated to construct a pavilion housing a royal monument to Somdet Phra Pathom Borom Maha Chanok. For this reason, Uthai Thani Province selected the image of the pavilion housing the royal monument of Somdet Phra Pathom Borom Maha Chanok on Sakae Krang Mountain as its provincial emblem.

The provincial flower is the Supannika flower, which belongs to the same family as the Cotton tree but has double flowers. Originally from the tropical grasslands of South America, it was introduced and widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in Thailand.

Furthermore, Uthai Thani province is also renowned for its freshwater fish farming, particularly cage farming in the Sakae Krang River, especially the raising of Siamese fighting fish (Pangasius siamensis), which has become widely known. The Department of Intellectual Property has registered the Siamese fighting fish of the Sakae Krang River as a Geographical Indication (GI).
