Thung Saliam (Thai: ทุ่งเสลี่ยม, pronounced [tʰûŋ sā.lìam]; Northern Thai: โต้งเสลียม, pronounced [tôːŋ sā.lǐam]) is a district (amphoe) of Sukhothai province, in the lower north of Thailand.[1][2]
Geography
[edit]Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Si Satchanalai, Sawankhalok, Si Samrong and Ban Dan Lan Hoi of Sukhothai Province, and Thoen of Lampang province.
History
[edit]The minor district (king amphoe) Thung Saliam was established in 1957, when the two tambons Thung Saliam and Klang Dong were split off from Sawankhalok District.[3] It was upgraded to a full district in 1959.[4]
Its name Thung Saliam literally means "field of Indian lilacs", because there used to be this kind of mahogany that used to grow abundantly in the area.
Administration
[edit]The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (mubans). The sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) Thung Saliam covers parts of tambon Thung Saliam, and Khao Kaeo Si Sombun the entire sub-district of the same name. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
