Thung Saliam (Thai: ทุ่งเสลี่ยม, in Thai pronounced as /tʰûŋ sā.lìam/; โต้งเสลี่ยม, pronounced as /tôːŋ sā.lìam/) is a district (amphoe) of Sukhothai province, in the lower north of Thailand.[1] [2]

Geography

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

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

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).
