Hantra

Hantra (Thai: หันตรา, pronounced [hǎn.trā:]) is a tambon (subdistrict) and field in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.

It was originally called "Thung Uthai" (ทุ่งอุทัย, pronounced [tʰûŋ ʔùʔ.tʰāj], lit: "field of rising sun") and was also the birthplace of Borommatrailokkanat, the eighth monarch of Ayutthaya Kingdom.

It was also used as a military training facility, hence the name "Thung Han Kla" (ทุ่งหาญกล้า, pronounced [tʰûŋ hǎːn klâː], lit: "field of courage").

[2] In the contemporary era, Rama IX used to perform royal duties here many times.

Hantra is located in the southeast of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District.
