Nakhon Si Thammarat (alternative English transliteration: Nakhon Sri Thammarat) is a town in
southern Thailand, capital of the
Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and the
Nakhon Si Thammarat district. It is about 610 km (380 miles) south of
Bangkok, on the east coast of the
Malay Peninsula. The city was the administrative center of southern Thailand during most of its history. Originally a coastal city, silting moved the coastline away from the city. The city has a much larger north to south extension then west to east, which dates back to its original location on a flood-save dune. The modern city centre around the train station is located north of Old Town.
