Saba Yoi (Template:Lang-th, pronounced [sā.bâː jɔ́ːj]; Pattani Malay: บายอ, pronounced [bāːjɔː]) is the southeasternmost district (amphoe) of Songkhla province, southern Thailand.

Etymology

The name Saba Yoi is a Thai corruption of sebayu (Jawi: سبايو). Its original name means 'wind' in Malay.

History

The area of Saba Yoi was administered by the Thepha district. It was upgraded to be Ba Hoi minor district (king amphoe) in 1924. In 1942 the government moved the district office to Tambon Mong and renamed the minor district Saba Yoi. It was upgraded to a full district in 1956.[1]
