Tha Song Yang was a minor district (king amphoe) of Mae Sariang district, Mae Hong Son province. It was called Ban Mae Moei or Ban Mae Tawo (บ้านแม่เมย or บ้านแม่ตะวอ). The district office was at Tambon Tha Song Yang.
In 1948 the government moved Tha Song Yang to be a subordinate of Mae Sot District, Tak Province.[1] The following year the district office was moved to Tambon Mae Tan.[2] In 1958 it was upgraded to a full district.[3]
EtymologyEdit
Tha Song Yang means 'a river pier that has two Yang trees' (Dipterocarpus sp.). The name originates from the old location of the district office, where it had two Yang trees on both of the Moei River, one tree on the Burmese side and one on the Thai side.
