In ancient times, the word "Chiang" meant "wiang" or "city". The word "reuk" also has another meaning, which is boat or heua, which refers to a vehicle used to travel back and forth along rivers, canals, canals, weirs, mines, etc. Thus, the word "Chiang Reuk", if spoken in the local language, can be translated as Chiang Reua or Wiang Reua, which means a city of boats, a place where goods are sold on boats, or a place with many boats. For this reason, in later times it was called Thapae, which still has the same meaning.
