On traveling to Tak Province, expect to discover a place with long
history, where natural wonders are magnificently enhanced by ethnic
diversity.
Mostly forested and mountainous, Tak is a northern province peacefully
situated on the Maenam Ping basin. The province covers an area of
16,406 square kilometers and is 426 kilometers north of Bangkok.
As Tak shares natural border with Myanmar, it is highly regarded
as a western gateway to Myanmar, and a northern doorway to Thailand's
major cities such as Lampang and Chiang Mai.
The Past
A province with a long history, Tak was earlier called Mueang Rahang.
Historians believe it was built prior to the Sukhothai era and was
treated as the western frontier of the Kingdom. Tak was also associated
with Thailand's former Great Kings, from King Ramkamhaeng the Great,
King Naresuan the Great, King Narai the Great to King Taksin the
Great. These four Kings usually called their troop assemblies in
Tak. That is why the seal of the province depicts King Naresuan
the Great on the royal elephant, pouring sacred water on the ground.
This is a symbolic representation of the declaration of the independence
of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya during the war with Burma in 1584. Tak
was considered the first district to be liberated from the power
of the Burmese Kingdom.
The Present
Today, Tak is no longer a strategic military frontier between two
great nations. It is however a trading gateway to Myanmar at Amphoe
Mae Sot, where lots of economic activities take place daily along
the border. In addition, the province has the Asian Highway that
runs from Thailand's western border towards the northeastern region
at Chong Mek (Mae Sot Sukhothai Phitsanulok Ubon Ratchathani - Laos).
Apart from Tak's military and economic importance the province is
also an environmental and cultural center with magnificent forests,
spectacular waterfalls and caves and fascinating hill tribes such
as Karen, Lisu, Musoe (Lahu), Akha, Yao and Hmong.
