To its East are riverine flatlands while the western areas are made up of high mountains lush with fertile forests where a number of national parks have been established.Areas along the river bank at present-day Mueang district used to host several ancient towns which had played a major role as strategic front-line frontiers since Sukhothai was the kingdom's capital down through the times of Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin (Bangkok) eras.
