Geography
Bang Krathum's topography consists of flat, fertile lowlands. Clockwise from the north, the subdistrict is bordered by Wang Nam Khu (of Amphoe Mueang Phitsanulok), Tha Tan, Nakhon Pa Mak, Phai Lom, Ta Fo (of Amphoe Mueang Phichit in Phichit Province), Sanam Khli, Khok Salut and Ban Rai. Bang Krathum lies within the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed. The town of Ban Bang Krathum is situated on the tambon's chief watercourse, a canal which winds through farms heading northeast to Ban Bang Kranoi in Nakhon Pa Mak, where it joins the Wang Thong River. The canal splits once between Ban Bang Krathum and Ban Bang Krathum, where a smaller branch leads due north to Ban Bueng Lam in Nakhon Pa Mak.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
