Chat Trakan (Thai: āļŠāļēāļ•āļīāļ•āļĢāļ°āļāļēāļĢ) is the northernmost district (amphoe) of Phitsanulok Province, northern Thailand.

History

Mueang Chat Trakan was an ancient city in the same age as Mueang Nakhon Thai. Originally part of Nakhon Thai district, it was made a minor district (King Amphoe) on May 1, 1969,consisting of the two tambon Chat Trakan and Pa Daeng.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on April 1, 1974.[2] It was a scene of conflict in the Thai–Laotian Border War (December 1987 – February 1988.)

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the southeast clockwise) Na Haeo of Loei Province, Nakhon Thai, Wang Thong, Wat Bot of Phitsanulok Province, Thong Saen Khan and Nam Pat of Uttaradit Province. And to the east it borders Xaignabouli of Laos.

Chat Trakan lies within the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed. The Khwae Noi River flows through Chat Trakan, as well as the lesser Kap (Thai: āļĨāļģāļ™āđ‰āļģāļ„āļąāļš), Phak (Thai: āļĨāļģāļ™āđ‰āļģāļ āļēāļ„) and Kleung (Thai: āļĨāļģāļ™āđ‰āļģāļ„āļĨāļķāļ‡) Rivers.
