Nakhon Chum (Thai: นครชุม) is a subdistrict in the Nakhon Thai District of Kamphaeng Phet Province, Thailand. It is a town has population of maybe 40,000. Phitsanulok and Nakhon Sawan are about an hour by road and these have a lot of the modern facilities available, such as superstores and some night life.

There is a Chinese Gate entrance to Nakhon Chum. It's just another large provincial town, a good place to really escape from all the usual pressures. However, the usual attractions are there if you know where to look. For the normal tourist, there is a nice little market, and go check out the Eagle Bar. As well, there is an old timber frame royal building with some ancient stone monuments.
