| Considered to be centrally located
in Thailand, Chaiyaphum has an abundance of natural attractions
and is famous for its  beautiful
flower fields, particularly the Krachiao Flower Blooming Festival
during the months of June-July. Chaiyaphum's size, with majority
of it being forests and mountains, ranks third in the region and
eighth in the country.
The town was founded by a group of Vientiane immigrants, led by
Nai Lae, a nobleman, during the beginning of the Rattanakosin era
over 2 centuries ago. Within a decade, King Rama III promoted Nai
Lae to Phraya Phakdi Chumphon and made him the city’s first
lord. When the Lord of Vientiane led a rebellion against King Rama
III in 1826, he helped Khunying Mo successfully defend Nakhon Ratchasima
from the seige.
