From 1714 to 1716, Chao Fa Myoza worked with Mr.In to restore the city. Mr.In relocated his family from Ban Fai Kaeo to Ban Dong Chang Pha (present-day Ban Tha Lo) and encouraged the local population to engage in agriculture. The settlement expanded toward the Nan River. In the past, carts were used extensively to transport stone and sand from the river port along the Nan River. As people gradually settled permanently in the area, the locals named the settlement Fai Kaeo.
