Ang Thong is a small town with a population of 41,600 people. The town was originally known as Mueang Wiset Chai Chan and was located on the Noi River. It was renamed Ang Thong, which means "golden bowl", following its relocation from the Noi River, which has become too shallow for navigation, to the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. This took place during the Thonburi era (1768-1782). It should not be confused with Angthong Marine National Park which is in Koh Samui.
