A visit to Uthai Thani (Thailand)

5 December 2013

 
Some photos from our short visit to Uthai Thani and a stay on a raft house on Sakae Krang river in 2011.
It is a place of rice fields, Buddhist temples at the place where Saksekrang river flows into Chao Phrara river in central thailand.
 
Uthai Thani province is about 6700 square kilometer with most of its population living and farming in the eastern flat plain of Chao Phraya river. The
western half is forest covered hills where there are some tribal villages of Karen (Kayin) peoples.
Huay Kha Khaeng wildlife sanctuary which is part of the Thailand western forest system is in the western areas of Uthai Thani province.
 
According to the records from 2000 ~ 2011 average high temperatures in the eastern half range between 30 and 34C in July to January, and 34 to 40C in February to June.
Average low temperatures in the eastern half are about 18 to 25C in July to January, and 24 to 28C in February to June.
