Place Name and Landscape

According to local tradition, the name of Ban Khanong Phra Nuea is traced back to the story of a monk. “Nuea” refers to the village’s northern location and to the fact that it lies on the upper reaches of a watercourse. The term “upper reaches” refers to the upper section of a watercourse; here, it forms part of the local explanation for the name. The tradition thus connects a story about the name with a specific geographic reference. If you would like to include a place’s history in your choice of destination, this story offers a distinctive cultural and landscape-related point of interest.
