Si Racha is a subdistrict and town in
Thailand on the east coast of the
Gulf of Thailand , about 120 km southeast of
Bangkok in
Si Racha district ,
Chonburi province . Si Racha is in the industrial
Eastern Seaboard zone, along with
Pattaya ,
Laem Chabang , and

provenance of the popular
hot sauce ,
Sriracha , which is named after the town.
Si Racha used to be part of Bang Lamung district which is borders today to its south. In 1900 (B.E 2443) Field Marshal Chao Phraya Surasak Montri came to the area of the modern town and built a sawmill under his company Sriracha Capital Company Limited. In 1903, Chaophraya requested that the district capital of Bang Phra district be moved to Si Racha, which it did but retained it original name before becoming Si Racha district in 1917.
