History


The history of Lom Sak area dates back to the founding of the Sukhothai Kingdom in the 13th century. The governor of Mueang Rat (Lom Sak), Pho Khun Pha Mueang (พ่อขุนผาเมือง), was one of Thai warlords who defeated the Khmer. When Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao (พ่อขุนบางกลางหาว) and a friend established the Sukhothai Kingdom, he supported his friend to be the first king because his wife was Khmer.


In 1767 in the reign of King Taksin the Great, Phraya Chakri (the later King Rama I) returned from his expedition to Vientiane through the area of present-day Lom Kao District. Some of the people from Vientiane settled there. When the new town grew bigger, they moved their town to the plain near the Pa Sak River and named the new town Lom Sak. Later other Lao from Vientiane, who were forced by King Taksin to settle around Lopburi, returned and settled in Lom Sak.


According to the historian Prince Damrong Rajanubhab the Mueang Lom Sak was established in the reign of King Nangklao (Rama III). When King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) created the monthon as part of the Thesaphiban administrative reforms, Mueang Lom Sak was controlled by Monthon Phetchabun. Later it was downgraded to be a district of Phetchabun Province. In 1916 the district was named Wat Pa (วัดป่า). The name of district was changed back to Lom Sak on 11 November 1938.


In the 1970s the hills of Lom Sak were a stronghold of the Communist Party of Thailand.[citation needed]



Geography


Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Lom Kao and Nam Nao of Phetchabun Province, Khon San of Chaiyaphum Province, and Mueang Phetchabun and Khao Kho of Phetchabun.


Nam Nao National Park protects some of the hills of the district. Khao Kho National Park is currently in creation and will also occupy parts of the district.
