About Tak

The small town of Tak, in the Northern Region of Thailand, gets few foreign visitors. The town itself has a population of around 20,000 permanent residents and a pleasant location on the Ping River. Tak is one of those places which was once fairly important but in modern times has become a provincial backwater. There are a handful of good quality hotels and a range restaurants which makes the town a good place to stop over for the night even if you there is not much of interest to see in the town itself.

If you do have a few hours in Tak then the best places to visit are:

• Ban Chin Alley: A 500 metre alleyway with lots of old wooden houses inhabited by the town’s Chinese community. Tak was once a thriving town which attracted a lot of Chinese immigrants, many of whom settled on the Ban Chin Alley and their descendants still live there today.
• Taksin Maharat Shrine: The man who was later to become King Taksin the Great was once the Governor of Tak. King Taksin founded a new capital in Thonburi after Ayutthaya, the former capital, was invaded by the Burmese. King Taksin won a number of important battles against the Burmese which is why he is known as King Taksin the Great.
• 200 Years Rattanakosin Bridge: There is a long suspension bridge for pedestrians in Tak town centre which was built to celebrate the 200 year anniversary of the founding of Bangkok as the new capital city of Thailand.
