Kao Kham (Thai: เก่าขาม) is a tambon (subdistrict) located in the northern region of Nam Yuen district, in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand.[1][2][3] It previously was a village in tambon Yang but gained tambon status in 1993.[2][4]

As of the 2021 consensus, it had a population of 7,459 people and 2,516 households in 13 administrative villages (Muban; บ้าน or หมู่บ้าน).[1] Neighbouring subdistricts are (clockwise from the south) Song, Ta Kao, Yang, Yang Yai, and Bu Pueai.[2][3][5]

History

The village of Kao Kham was founded in the early 20th century in an abandoned village area.[2][6] The name "Kao Kham" is made up of two parts: Kao เก่า means "old", which refers to the abandoned settlement where the village is located, and Kham ขาม refers to "Ma Kham" (tamarind), a leguminous tree bearing edible fruit that was found numerously in the area before the village was settled.[2] At its early age, the village was administrated from Yang, but it was later promoted to tambon (subdistrict) in 1993 by absorbing seven other villages in Yang's southern territory.[4]

After independence, Tambon Yang Yai was governed by the Subdistrict Council of Yang until the council was later upgraded to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) in 1996.[2][6]

Geography

The tambon covers 47.95 km^2 and is located in the northern region of the Nam Yuen district. The area is mostly an undulating plateau and the Lam Dom Yai River basin.[7]

Administration

The subdistrict of Kao Kham is subdivided into 13 administrative villages (mubans; หมู่บ้าน).[1][2] As of the 2021 census, it had a population of 7,459 people with 2,516 households.[1]

The entire tambon is governed by the Subdistrict Administrative Organization of Kao Kham (องค์การบริหารส่วนตำบลเก่าขาม, Kao Kham SAO).[1][2]
