Chanthaburi è celebrato attraverso la Thailandia a causa dei suoi legami eroici con il re Taksin il Grande, il conquistatore che ha combattuto indietro contro gli occupanti birmani di Ayutthaya nel 1767 e ha continuato a ristabilire l'indipendenza tailandese. Anche se Taksin governò brevemente solo dalla sua nuova capitale a Thonburi (1768-82), il suo nome rimane molto venerato, e viene commemorato attraverso Chanthaburi in un certo numero di santuari, monumenti, parchi e anche un cantiere navale. Re Taksin (Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Maharat; Thai: สมเด็จพระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช; 17 aprile 1734 – 7 aprile 1782) è stato l'unico re del regno di Thonburi. Io

Chanthaburi is celebrated across Thailand because of its heroic links with King Taksin the Great, the conqueror who fought back against the Burmese occupiers of Ayutthaya in 1767 and went on to re-establish Thai independence. Although Taksin only ruled briefly from his new capital at Thonburi (1768-82), his name remains greatly revered, and is commemorated across Chanthaburi in a number of shrines, monuments, parks and even a boat yard. King Taksin (Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Maharat; Thai: สมเด็จพระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช; April 17, 1734 – April 7, 1782) was the only King of the Thonburi Kingdom. He is greatly revered by the Thai people for his leadership in liberating Siam from Burmese occupation after the Second Fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, and the subsequent unification of Siam after it fell under various warlords. King Taksin established Thonburi as his new capital, since Ayutthaya had been almost completely destroyed by the Burmese. His reign was characterized by numerous wars, fought to repel new Burmese invasions and to subjugate the northern Thai kingdom of Lanna, the Laotian principalities, and a threatening Cambodia. He was succeeded by the Chakri dynasty and the Rattanakosin Kingdom under his long time friend King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke.
