Population
Population typically refers to the number of people in a single area, whether it be a city or town, region, country, continent, or the world.

Tambon
''Tambon'' ( th, ตำบล, ) is a local governmental unit in Thailand. Below district (''amphoe'') and province (''changwat''), they form the third administrative subdivision level. there were 7,255 tambons, not including the 180 ''khwaeng'' of Bangkok, which are set at the same administrative level, thus every district contains eight to ten tambon. ''Tambon'' is usually translated as "township" or "subdistrict" in English — the latter is the recommended translation, though also often used for ''king amphoe'', the designation for a subdistrict acting as a branch (Thai: ''king'') of the parent district. Tambon are further subdivided into 69,307 villages ('' muban''), about ten per ''tambon''. ''Tambon'' within cities or towns are not subdivided into villages, but may have less formal communities called ''chumchon'' ( ชุมชน) that may be formed into community associations.

Khwaeng
A ''khwaeng'' (, ) is an administrative subdivision used in the fifty districts of Bangkok and a few other city municipalities in Thailand. Currently, there are 180 ''khwaeng'' in Bangkok. A ''khwaeng'' is roughly equivalent to a ''tambon'' in other provinces of Thailand, smaller than an ''amphoe'' (district). With the creation of the special administrative area of Bangkok in 1972 the ''tambon'' within the area of the new administrative entity was converted into ''khwaeng''.Item 17 of The common English translation for ''khwaeng'' is subdistrict. Historically, in some regions of the country ''khwaeng'' referred to subdivisions of a province (then known as ''mueang'', predating the modern term ''changwat''), while in others they were called ''amphoe''. Administrative reforms at the beginning of the 20th century standardized them to the term ''amphoe''.

Chao Phraya River
The Chao Phraya ( or ; th, แม่น้ำเจ้าพระยา, , or ) is the major river in Thailand, with its low alluvial plain forming the centre of the country. It flows through Bangkok and then into the Gulf of Thailand. Etymology On many old European maps, the river is named the ''Mae Nam'' (Thai: แม่น้ำ), the Thai word for "river" (literally, "motherly water"). James McCarthy, F.R.G.S., who served as Director-General of the Siamese Government Surveys prior to establishment of the Royal Survey Department, wrote in his account, "''Mae Nam'' is a generic term, ''mae'' signifying "mother" and ''Nam'' "water," and the epithet Chao P'ia signifies that it is the chief river in the kingdom of Siam." H. Warington Smyth, who served as Director of the Department of Mines in Siam from 1891 to 1896, refers to it in his book first published in 1898 as "the Mae Nam Chao Phraya". In the English-language media in Thailand, the name Chao Phraya River is oft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wiang Haeng District
Wiang Haeng ( th, เวียงแหง, ) is a district (''amphoe'') in the northern part of Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand. History The area of ''tambon'' Wiang was very far from Chiang Dao district center. The government separated ''Tambon'' Mueang Haeng and Piang Luang to create a minor district (''king amphoe'') on 5 May 1981. It was upgraded to a full district on 4 November 1993. Wiang Haeng is believed to be the place where King Naresuan died in 1605 when he and his army went to war with Ava.
