Geography
Ban Sam Ruen is located in the southwest portion of Nakhon Pa Mak on the Wang Thong River. The Wang Thong flows into Sam Ruen from the northwest and out of the village to the south. A canal which leads to Ban Grong Greng runs out of Ban Sam Ruen from the northeast. The resulting pattern divides the land into three plots. At Ban Grong Greng, the Sam Ruen Canal makes its first split, one extension turning west toward Ban Dongphayom, and the other extending north. The canal has many branches, and forms a complex canal system which provides irrigation for much of Nakhon Pa Mak. Ban Sam Ruen is within the Nan River watershed.
