History edit

The area was first settled in the late 1800s, with the first village, Bak Waeng (บักแหว่ง), governed by Mueang Det, the district capital.[1] The settlement was eventually renamed "Tha Pho Si" in 1902, after the giant sandbox tree (Thai: โพธิ์ศรี; Pho Si) that was founded near the waterfront pavilion on the bank of the Lam Dom Yai River.[1]

The Tha Pho Si subdistrict was formed in 1976 by combining two areas splitting from Mueang Det and Klang, which consisted of five and one villages, respectively.[3]

Geography edit

The tambon is located in the central region of the Det Udom district, on the low river plain of the Lam Dom Yai River.[1]

Administration edit

The Tha Pho Si subdistrict is divided into eight administrative villages (mubans; หมู่บ้าน), one of which, Tha Pho Si village, was further divided into four community groups (Mu; หมู่).[2] The entire area is governed by the Subdistrict Administrative Organization of Tha Pho Si (องค์การบริหารส่วนตำบลท่าโพธิ์ศรี; Tha Pho Si SAO).[2]

As of the 2021 census, it had a population of 7,056 people with 2,550 households. The following is a list of the subdistrict's mubans, which roughly correspond to the villages.[2]
