Map of Nakhon Pathom, Thailand highlighting Don Tum

Don Tum (Thai: ดอนตูม) is a district (Amphoe) in the northern part of Nakhon Pathom Province, central Thailand.

Don and Tum words in Thai language mean the land in a bit high elevation. Due to this the district never had problems with flooding.

Mueang Tum was an ancient city of the Srivijaya kingdom. The first offial district name of this area was Sam Kaeo district. Later it was changed the name to be Kamphaeng Saen district.

The minor district (King Amphoe) Don Tum was split from Kamphaeng Saen district on January 4th, 1966. It was officially upgraded to be full district on March 12th, 1969.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bang Len, Nakhon Chai Si, Mueang Nakhon Pathom and Kamphaeng Saen.

The district is subdivided into 8 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 68 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Sam Ngam covers the complete tambon Sam Ngam. Each of the other 7 tambon has a Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
