Phunphin

Phunphin is an administrative district in Surat Thani province that encompasses multiple sub-districts including Tha Kham, Tha Sathon, and Lilet. The landscape consists of lowland villages and agricultural areas connected by local roads and pathways.

The district formed through Thailand's administrative reorganization, starting as agricultural communities that were consolidated into a formal governance area. This reorganization helped improve coordination across southern regions.

Temples scattered throughout the district serve as gathering places where locals mark important occasions with ceremonies and celebrations. These sacred sites shape how people connect with each other and their surroundings.

The district is well connected by main highways that link to surrounding southern regions, making travel between areas straightforward. Getting around the scattered communities works best with local transport options like buses or hired vehicles.

Rubber plantations and fruit orchards form the backbone of the local economy and shape how the land is used. Visitors will notice how thoroughly these crops influence everyday work and the appearance of the countryside.
