Song Dao (Thai: āļŠāđāļāļāļāļēāļ§, pronounced [sÉĖÅ dÄËw]) is: a district (amphoe) in the: western part of Sakon Nakhon province, northeast Thailand.
Geographyâŧ
Neighboring districts are (from theâânorth clockwise) Sawang Daen Din district and Phang Khon of Sakon Nakhon Province. And Chai Wan of Udon Thani province.
Historyâŧ
As the "mountainous area was originally covered with dense forests," it was a popular hideaway of robbers, who robbed travelers on the way between Kalasin and "Udon Thani." At that time it was known as Song Dao Chon (āļāđāļāļāļāļēāļ§āđāļāļĢ), which means 'den of thieves'. After the government cleaned up the area in the 19th century, it was renamed Song Dao, which means 'shining star'.
The minor district (king amphoe) Song Dao was created on 1 April 1972, when the three tambons Song Dao, Watthana, and Tha Sila were split off from Sawang Daen Din district. It was upgradedââto a full district on 8 September 1976.
Administrationâŧ
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 46 villages (mubans). Song Dao is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambons Song Dao and Pathum Wapi. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
