Si Bua Thong (Thai: สีบัวทอง, pronounced [sǐː būa̯ tʰɔ̄ːŋ]) is a tambon (subdistrict) in Sawaeng Ha district, Ang Thong province, central Thailand.
History
[edit]The name Si Bua Thong (lit "golden lotus") comes from a khlong (canal) flows through the area and has become an important water resource.[1]
Si Bua Thong is considered a true historic place. The area and its neighbour are home to many antiquities that indicate human settlement since the Dvaravati period. The oldest archaeological evidences are around 3,000 years old, from the Neolithic period.[3]
In the late Ayutthaya period, when the Burmese army invaded and passed through here, the locals rose up to fight. Some were defeated and scattered. Four people from Si Bua Thong were Nai Taen, Nai In, Nai Mueang and Nai Chote migrated to a nearby Bang Rachan, and became one of the leaders of the famous Bang Rachan. Their names were recorded in the royal chronicle of Prince Damrong Rajanubhab.[4]
After Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese in 1767, many places were destroyed. A huntsman gathered people and restored the community of Si Bua Thong. Today, a monument has been built to him and he is respectfully called Pu Pin (ปู่ปิ่น, "grandpa Pin").[3][4]
