This is Uthai Thani's unique town, literally built on the water, with every single floating house officially registered. In the past, when the river was the main artery, people in Uthai Thani settled right on its banks. Today, this settlement—comprising over 200 registered houses—has become a very special way of life in Uthai Thani. Along the main Sakrae Krang River, locals maintain their traditional way of life: fishing and earning their living through aquaculture. Freshwater fish are considered a delicacy in Uthai Thani, especially the pla rat, or giant gourami, which is abundant in the area.

Visitors can take a river cruise or a rafting trip to explore this unique city and stop at the ancient temple of Wat Tha Sung. The ornate ceremonies at Wat Tha Sung reflect the people's deep faith in the late Luanpho Ling Dam, whose incorrupt body is kept at the temple along with a replica of the revered Phra Phutta Chinnarat. Tham Hup Pa Tat is a vast area of ​​limestone caves that leads into a lush mountain range covered with clove forests—an ancient species of palm. Also noteworthy are rare creatures such as the long-eared tortoise and the bright pink dragon millipede.
