Tha Yang

Tha Yang spans 736 square kilometers in western Thailand, containing twelve sub-districts and 119 villages across diverse landscapes near the Gulf of Thailand.

The district received its name in 1939 from the numerous Yang trees that grew near a riverside pier, replacing its former designation as Yang Yong.

Local communities maintain traditional salt production practices through extensive salt pans, contributing to Thailand's agricultural and economic diversity.

The district operates two township centers, Tha Yang and Nong Chok, providing administrative services and coordinating local governance for the population of 81,541.

The district borders include the mountainous Kaeng Krachan area, coastal regions along the Gulf of Thailand, and agricultural zones producing varied regional crops.
