The name means ‘wall as hard as diamond’. This wall served as a defensive line to protect the Ayutthaya Kingdom from what is now modern-day Burma. The old name was Khao Kampeng, referring to a ‘mountain wall’ between the two countries.Geography[edit]The main river is the Ping, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya River. River flats make up much of the east of the province, while the west is mountainous and covered with forests. The total forest area is 1,997\u00a0km2 (771\u00a0sq\u00a0mi) or 23.5 percent of provincial area.[1]One of the provinces best-known products is bananas, especially the kluai khai, a small, round, sweet banana. Banana festivals are held every year to thank the spirits for the harvest.National parks[edit]There area three national parks make up region 12 (Nakhon Sawan) of Thailand’s protected areas.Wildlife sanctuary[edit]History[edit]Kamphaeng Phet was already a royal city in the Sukhothai Kingdom in the 14th century, then known under its old name Chakangrao. It formed an important part of the defence system of the kingdom, as well as of the later Ayutthaya Kingdom.Symbols[edit]The provincial seal shows the city walls surmounted by diamonds, since the city name means ‘diamond wall’ (from the shape of the ramparts of the old city wall). The provincial tree is the areca nut palm (Acacia catechu), and the provincial flower the bullet wood (Mimusops elengi). Golden belly barb (Hypsibarbus wetmorei) is provincial fish, since it is a fish found in the Ping river especially in the area of Kamphaeng Phet.[4]Administrative divisions[edit]  Provincial government[edit]The province is divided into 11 districts (amphoes). These are further divided into 78 subdistricts (tambons) and 823 villages (mubans).Local government[edit]As of 26 November 2019 there are:[5] one Kamphaeng Phet Provincial Administration Organisation (ongkan borihan suan changwat) and 25 municipal (thesaban) areas in the province.

The non-municipal areas are administered by 64 Subdistrict Administrative Organisations – SAO (ongkan borihan suan tambon).[6]Human achievement index 2017[edit]Since 2003, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Thailand has tracked progress on human development at sub-national level using the Human achievement index (HAI), a composite index covering all the eight key areas of human development.
