An introduction to Chaiyaphum

Chaiyaphum is a place where many periods of civilization have overlapped one another from the Dvaravati and Khmer periods to the Laotian or Lan Chang eras. Many archaeological remains and objects were found in many areas in the province. Later and the province appeared as a border town during the reign of King Narai the Great of the Ayutthaya period. After that and the town was abandoned and reappeared once more in the Rattanakosin perioid as a destination where the Vientiane people, led by their leader Lae, emigrated to. He was designated as the first governor of Chaiyaphum.
