Kao Kham (Thai: เก่าขาม) is a tambon (subdistrict) located in the northern region of Nam Yuen district, in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand.[1][2][3] It previously was a village in tambon Yang but gained tambon status in 1993.[2][4]
As of the 2021 consensus, it had a population of 7,459 people and 2,516 households in 13 administrative villages (Muban; บ้าน or หมู่บ้าน).[1] Neighbouring subdistricts are (clockwise from the south) Song, Ta Kao, Yang, Yang Yai, and Bu Pueai.[2][3][5]
History[edit]
The village of Kao Kham was founded in the early 20th century in an abandoned village area.[2][6] The name "Kao Kham" is made up of two parts: Kao เก่า means "old", which refers to the abandoned settlement where the village is located, and Kham ขาม refers to "Ma Kham" (tamarind), a leguminous tree bearing edible fruit that was found numerously in the area before the village was settled.[2] At its early age, the village was administrated from Yang, but it was later promoted to tambon (subdistrict) in 1993 by absorbing seven other villages in Yang's southern territory.[4]
After independence, Tambon Yang Yai was governed by the Subdistrict Council of Yang until the council was later upgraded to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) in 1996.[2][6]
Geography[edit]
The tambon covers 47.95 km2 and is located in the northern region of the Nam Yuen district. The area is mostly an undulating plateau and the Lam Dom Yai River basin.[7]
Administration[edit]
The subdistrict of Kao Kham is subdivided into 13 administrative villages (mubans; หมู่บ้าน).[1][2] As of the 2021 census, it had a population of 7,459 people with 2,516 households.[1]
The entire tambon is governed by the Subdistrict Administrative Organization of Kao Kham (องค์การบริหารส่วนตำบลเก่าขาม, Kao Kham SAO).[1][2]
