This article is about the town Nakhon Sawan. For other uses, see Nakhon Sawan (disambiguation).
Nakhon Sawan (Thai นครสวรรค์) is a city in Thailand, the name literally means "Heavenly City". The city has about 125.000 inhabitants. The city is the capital of Nakhon Sawan Province and the Nakhon Sawan district.
Nakhon Sawan is about 240 km north of Bangkok, and marks the point of confluence of two of Thailands major rivers, the Ping and the Nan. These converge in Nakhon Sawan to form the Chao Phraya which flows south to Bangkok and out into the Gulf of Thailand.
It is located in a valley, thus resulting in some of the highest overnight lows in the country, often reaching 33C in the summer, and up to 43C in the day.
