Don Tum District

 
Don Tum (, ) is a district ("amphoe") in the northern part of Nakhon Pathom Province, central Thailand.
Etymology.
The words "Don" and "Tum" in Thai mean 'land at a slightly high elevation'. Due to this, the district has never had problems with flooding.
History.
"Mueang" Tum was an ancient city of the Srivijaya kingdom. The first official district name of this area was Sam Kaeo. Later it was renamed to Kamphaeng Saen District.
The minor district ("king amphoe") Don Tum was created on 1 January 1966, when seven "tambons" were split from Kamphaeng Saen District. It was officially upgraded to be full district on 12 March 1969.
Geography.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bang Len, Nakhon Chai Si, Mueang Nakhon Pathom and Kamphaeng Saen.
Administration.
The district is divided into eight subdistricts ("tambons"), which are further subdivided into 68 villages ("mubans"). The township ("thesaban tambon") Sam Ngam covers "tambon" Sam Ngam. Each of the other seven "tambons" has a tambon administrative organization (TAO).
