Chai Nat is one of the central provinces of Thailand. Neighbouring provinces are Nakhon Sawan, Sing Buri, Suphan Buri, and Uthai Thani. The town of Chai Nat is 188 km north of Bangkok. Chai Nat is on the flat river plain of central Thailand's Chao Phraya River valley. In the south of the province, the Chao Phraya Dam impounds the Chao Phraya River, both for flood control as well as to divert water into the country's largest irrigation system for the irrigation of rice paddies in the lower river valley. The dam, part of the Greater Chao Phraya Project, was finished in 1957 and was the first dam constructed in Thailand. The total forest area is 64 km² or 2.6 percent of the provincial area.
