“….From Chachoengsao (จังหวัดฉะเชิงเทรา) Set up the mouth of Chao Lo and raise it to eight riw. Then raise it to set Sothon….” It is a sentence derived from the inscription on a silver plate in 1875 and was discovered in 1952. At present, this silver sheet is kept by the abbot of Wat Phayakha Intharam (Wat Chedi). The word “Pet Riew” appears as evidence in the writings describing the history of Sampathuan Temple, saying that “….Bang Chong is a picture of Chachoengsao Province, 60 years ago, 100 years ago, for those who do not know note that Chachoengsao Province, which was originally called the city of Paed Riew, what was its condition at that time….” and in 1987, “….change from Sao which means silence. There is another word called Bang Pla Soi Roi Riew Bang Pla Soi is Chonburi, Roi Riew is Paet Riew or Chachoengsao…. ”
Where is Paet Riw City? If eight lines and a hundred lines is the same city with the influence of Chinese distorted into Thai words and if so Chachoengsao is an ancient city because the archaeological evidence that was later excavated was all in the vicinity of Chachoengsao. Therefore, the ancient community of Chachoengsao should be a city of Roi Riew that rhymes with Bang Pla Soi itself.
What is the name of the city of Paet Riw? It is classified as a legend or a folklore story along the coast. There are more. If archaeologists and historians do not forget this land. Because there is still a lot of evidence about prehistoric humans… “At least it is the entrance land. and the maritime economic base of the Northeastern Plateau in Thailand and the Low Plateau in Cambodia…”
All this would be enough to power thinkers and writers to study information to support the progress and complete local history.
chronicles and the history of Chachoengsao Evidence that King Naresuan the Great has led an army to forcibly bring back the Thai kitchen. After Phraya Loew took advantage of the opportunity while Thailand was addicted to the Burmese war. Khmer to draw Thai kitchen in the provinces of Chanthaboon, Rayong, Chachoengsao and Na Roeng (Nakhon Nayok) in this study. Chachoengsao people have contributed to the war service and have been like and honored since that time. The governor who used to have the title of “Phra Wiset” has been promoted to “Phra Wiset” since then.
Entered the late Ayutthaya period Krom Muen Theppipit has gathered an army of people in the city. The East, along with the people of Chachoengsao, joined the army. to help fix Ayutthaya that was in poverty at that time But the army defeated the Burmese at Yothaka mouth first.
When Ayutthaya was so tight that it couldn’t be fixed Phraya Tak commanded about a thousand people. The Burmese soldiers came across the river at Pak Nam Chao Lo, Bang Khla District, and marched to Chanthaburi. It took the army to maintain and train for a full 7 months and then lead the army to drive the Burmese out of Thai territory. At that time, the Chachoengsao people proudly joined the National Rescue Army. And is considered the honor of the people of Chachoengsao who have the blood of being a true sacrifice and patriotism all along.
into the Rattanakosin period Chachoengsao is already in the eyes of the westerners. Because from the record of the French bishop said “…..Pet Riew Province (Original writing) and Bang Pla Soi 300 people…..” (meaning there are Christians) The record of this Westerner is in the year 1830, which shows that foreigners value the soil. This area is very much. The more advanced and modern equipment used in the travel of westerners This has certainly spurred an extensive survey of the Bang Pakong River basin, but we have yet to find any evidence that he has written in detail at this time. And it is expected that next time, when found, will know more new strange things for sure.
Later, Thailand had a feud with the Vietnamese. Fighting in the reign of King Rama III, and after the Yuan had fallen into a French colony, Thailand saw the dangers of foreign ships, so he ordered to build a fort in Chachoengsao. along with other cities Many other cities in the year 1834, Chachoengsao is evidenced as a modern city, which is a modern city defense fortress to withstand the fire of enemy ships that come by ship.

(Current Si Sothon Camp) built a model school in Prachin Province. “Chachoengsao Rangsarit” (now Benchamarajrangsarit School). The need to accelerate the modernization of the country is to give morale and encouragement to people who are unsure of national sovereignty. because the superpowers used the policy of extraterritorial rights.
Consular officers go to the consular court specifically for foreigners. Chinese people are interested in becoming a foreign force. And along with the frequent news of the loss of territories to great powers, the government has to urgently resolve the country’s situation in order for the people to have respect for the rule of the Thai government and this city of Chachoengsao. has been an example for other counties Let’s take a look at this example of progressive and stable governance.

Appoint the Permanent Secretary of the Khmer to another position called “Phra Kampuchphakdi” to help the government of Thai people in Khmer culture. Or set up a Permanent Secretary of China to help rule over the Chinese people who came to make a living in Chachoengsao more at that time. and called the position of Permanent Secretary of China that “Luang Wisut Chinchat” and if it is a level The sheriff was set up as “Ten thousand critical Chinese script”, etc.
In conclusion, Chachoengsao has maintained the importance of the nation since ancient times. When entering the democratic era in 1932, the governance system that began in 1893 ceased, and the Act on Administrative Regulations of the Kingdom of Thailand was applied. 1933, and the government decentralized power to the region.

The government, therefore, made preparations without negligence, which was considered a morale booster for another part of Luk Paed Riew.
The province’s education has been taken seriously since the days of adaptation to colonialism. Which is considered lucky that people in this city can get new ideas. easily without feeling conflicted with their own rules of life At the end of World War II, UNESCO Chachoengsao has also been used as an educational experimental center since 1951, which is now the Office of Education District 12, located on Marupong Road.
