| dc.description.abstract | Uthai Thani is a town on the high land and in the remote area. There are not any main rivers, so it is unable to communicate by ships.
Therefore, the farmers of Uthai Thani had to carry their paddy to the rivers by carts. The rice merchants had to build their shops and
granaries along the riversides and then it became big community and was called the village "Sakae krang". This area is rich with a kind
of trees locally called Sakae. At the beginning, Chinese called it as "Xin kia prawns" and later it became a big rice market.
The study found that Sakae krang village is a unique community. It is an important commercial area of Uthai Thani. Many kinds of goods are
available here including local products and agricultural equipment, clothes, souvenirs, crafts, vegetables, fruits, and sweets. From the past
until the present, Thai and Chinese culture, architecture, and lifestyle are the characteristics of the community along theSakae krang River.

1. Improvement project of old buildings of Sakae Krang market. 2. Restoration project of houseboat community. 3. The improvement and
development project of recreational areas along the Sakae Krang River. 4. Improvement project of road traffic and facilities on Thachang road. 5. Raft
