CHANTABUN, or CITANTABURI

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 846 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHANTABUN, or CITANTABURI , the
principal
  town of the Siamese province of the same name, on the E. side of the Gulf of Siam, in 102 6' E., 12 38' N. Pop. about 5000. The town lies about 12 M. from the sea on a river which is navigable for boats and inside the bar of which there is good anchorage for light-draft vessels. The
trade
  is chiefly in rubies and sapphires from the mines of the Krat and Pailin districts, and in pepper, of which about 500 tons are exported annually. Cardamoms and
rosewood
  are also exported. In 1905
Chantabun
  was made the headquarters of a high
commissioner
  with
jurisdiction
  ex-tending over the
coast
  districts from the Nam Wen on the
East
  to Cape Liant on the West, which were thus united to form a provincial division (Manton). In 1893
Chantabun
  was occupied by a French force of four hundred men, a step taken by France as a guarantee for the execution by Siam of undertakings entered into by the treaty of that year. The occupation, which was merely military and did not affect the civil government, lasted until January 1905, when, in accordance with the provisions of the Franco-Siamese treaty of 1904, the garrison of occupation was withdrawn. Chantabun has been since the 17th century, and still is, a stronghold of the Roman Catholic missionaries, and the Christian
element
  amongst the population is greater here than anywhere else in Siam.
