Abstract: This study investigated the role of Phichit Historical Park as an essential site for exploring and comparing collective memory narratives and communication. Local historical Phichit Province perceptions are examined by interpreting historical documents, local government publications, and royal chronicles, guided by Pierre Nora's concept of sites of memory. Insights into Phichit's historical origins focused on the narrative surrounding its urban establishment. Monuments dedicated to historical characters and annual provincial ceremonies organized by the Phichit Provincial Cultural Office reflected historical events, offering a glimpse into community memory space reproduction. To emphasize the creation of a shared community space, the study underscored the significance of highlighting an enduring community development narrative. It sought to bridge historical accounts with contemporary communal benefits to foster a sense of unity and coexistence in a specific area.
