Song, Nam Yuen
Song (Thai: โซง) is a tambon (subdistrict) located in the westernmost region of Nam Yuen district, in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand.[1][2][3] Song served as the district's capital until 1981, when its eastern region, where the district government office is located, became an independent tambon called Si Wichian.[4] In 2021, it had a population of 8,419 people.[1] Neighbouring subdistricts are (clockwise from the west) Khok Sa-at, Ta Kao, Kao Kham, Bu Pueai, and Si Wichian, as well as Choam Khsant District of Cambodia in the south.[2][3] HistorySong is considered one of the oldest tambons of the Nam Yuen district, together with Yang and Dom Pradit, as well as Ta Kao,[5] which was later split off to create Nam Khun district.[6] During the reign of King Mongkut, the area was covered by Champasak's Ban Chanla Na Dom (บ้านจันลานาโดม); currently is Dom Pradit, a former district relegated to tambon in 1912.[7] In 1969, Song became the seat of a newly established small district (king amphoe) affiliated with Det Udom, named "Nam Yuen,"[5] which was later promoted to an independent district in 1974.[8] However, it lost the district's seat status when the eastern region, where the district government office is located, has become an autonomous division called tambon Si Wichian in 1981.[4] Tambon Song was once wholly governed by its subdistrict council until the establishment of the Sukhaphiban Nam Yuen area (สุขาภิบาลน้ำยืน) in 1973; since then, a populous area in the district's town center has been broken off and managed by a newly formed government.[9] The subdistrict council was later upgraded to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) in 1997, and, effectively on December 12, 2013, it was later promoted to a subdistrict municipality.[2][10] Meanwhile, Sukhaphiban Nam Yuen, which covers some parts of both Song and Si Wichian due to the 1981 subdistrict separation, was promoted to a subdistrict municipality in 2005.[11] GeographyThe tambon covers 157 km2 and is located in the western region of the Nam Yuen district. The north, which accounts for two-thirds of the total area and is home to the majority of the population, is an undulating plateau, while the rest is a rolling plain and highland of the Dângrêk Mountains, which form the border between Thailand and Cambodia.[2] AdministrationThe subdistrict of Song is divided into twelve villages (mubans; หมู่บ้าน).[1][2] As of the 2021 census, it had a population of 8,419 people with 2,711 households.[1] Most of the area, more than 90 percent, is governed by the Song Subdistrict Municipality (เทศบาลตำบลโซง, Song Township), with only a small portion of the east region covered by another local government, the Nam Yuen Subdistrict Municipality (เทศบาลน้ำยืน, Nam Yuen Township), which also governs some of the neighboring subdistrict, Si Wichian.[1][2] The following is a list of the subdistrict's mubans, which roughly correspond to the villages.[1]
