Thap Kwang
Thap Kwang (, ) is a tambon (subdistrict) of Kaeng Khoi District, Saraburi Province, central Thailand. History Thap Kwang is an area with an old history dating back to the early Rattanakosin period. It is a residential community of Laotian who migrated from Kingdom of Vientiane since the King Taksin's reign. Hence the name "Ban Lao" (บ้านลาว, "hamlet of Laotian"). The population of Ban Lao increased during the King Nangklao (Rama III)'s reign. Later in the King Chulalongkorn (Rama V)'s reign, during which Prince Damrong Rajanubhab was Minister of the Interior, he was of the opinion that the name might create racial divisions. Therefore, the name was changed to "Thap Kwang", which means "habitat of deers" until the present. Thap Kwang in the Boworadet Rebellion that occurred in October 1933 was a battleground fought between government forces with the militants led by General Prince Boworadet and Colonel Phraya Sri Sitthi Songkhram, especially on the northeastern railway line and 2-3 consecutive railway stations. Geography Thap Kwang is the eastern part of Kaeng Khoi District. It is about from downtown Kaeng Khoi and lined in the northeast of downtown Saraburi. It is from Mueang Saraburi District. The topography is plateau and mountainous.
