Monthon Surat Thani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monthon Surat Thani (Thai: มณฑลสุราษฎร์ธานี, originally named Monthon Chumphon มณฑลชุมพร) was an administrative subdivision of Thailand in the beginning of the 20th century. It covered the northeastern part of Southern Thailand.
The monthon was established in 1896, with its administration located in Chumphon, containing the provinces Chumphon, Chaiya, Kanchanadit and Lang Suan. Langsuan was later incorporated into Chumphon, while Kanchanadit was merged into Chaiya in 1899. In 1915 the monthon court was moved to the town Bandon, which was renamed to Surat Thani in the same year. The monthon was subsequently also renamed. In 1925 it was incorporated into the Monthon Nakhon Si Thammarat, which like all monthon was dismantled in 1933.
