Than To (Template:Lang-th) is a district (Amphoe) in the southern part of Yala Province, southern Thailand.

History

The tambon Mae Wat was separated from Bannang Sata district on June 9, 1975 and formed the new minor district (King Amphoe) Than To.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on July 13, 1981.[2]

The area had been the location of the Than To prison of the Corrections department. The prison was established in 1935 for the political prisoners. It was closed in 1957. Later the government converted the area to Than To estate.

Geography

Administration

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 33 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) of Khok Chang covers parts of the tambon Mae Wat.
