The small province of Chai Nat is located to the northwest of Ayudhaya. It was built during the Ayudhaya period and was designed to be a defensive front against the continuing threat of attack by the Burmese. It was so highly successful against the Burmese that the town was named Chai Nat, or "Place of Victory".
