Bong Ti (Thai: บ้องตี้, pronounced [bɔ̂ŋ tîː]) is a village and tambon (subdistrict) of Sai Yok District, in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand.[2] The tambon contains four villages.

Geography

Bong Ti Subdistrict is in the mountainous area of the Tenasserim Hills, close to the border with Myanmar. There is a tarmac road connecting with Sinbyudaing in Myanmar at the western end of the subdistrict. In 2005 the tambon had a population of 3,894 people. Many of the local inhabitants are Karen people.

In 2015, sound from the meteor was reported in three districts of Kanchanaburi Province: Thong Pha Phum, Sai Yok, and Si Sawat.[3] The Governor of Kanchanaburi Province, Wan-chai Osukhonthip, ordered police and Sai Yok National Park rangers to search Wang Krachae and Bong Ti subdistricts in Sai Yok District for meteor debris.[3]
