Thai Ban (Thai: ท้ายบ้าน, in Thai pronounced as /tʰáːj bâːn/) is a tambon (sub-district) in Mueang Samut Prakan District, Samut Prakan Province.
Its name "Thai Ban" literally translates to "the end of the muban (village)". Because during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), it was considered a very distant area from the downtown Samut Prakan, also colloquially known as Pak Nam. At that time it was called "Thai Ban Talat" (the end of the marketplace), later called "Thai Ban" for short.[1]
Adjacent areas are, clockwise from north, Pak Nam, Thai Ban Mai, Bang Pu Mai, all of them are in its district, and Laem Fa Pha in Phra Samut Chedi District (across Chao Phraya River). It borders Bay of Bangkok (upper Gulf of Thailand) to the south.[2]
The entire area is under the administration of Bang Pu Sub-District Municipality.
Thai Ban is divided into seven administrative villages.
As of April 30, 2022, it had a total population of 24,350 people (11,866 males, 12,484 females) in 11,415 households.[3]
