History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Chai Nat was first established during the Ayutthaya period and was used as a successful base of operations for confronting the Burmese army. As the Burmese were defeated every time, the area earned the name Chai Nat, 'place of victory'.[1]

After World War II, when the Japanese had left, economic conditions were bad and food was in short supply. Chai Nat suffered this problem especially badly where bandits grouped up in the countryside stealing cattle and incited violence and crime.
