Monthon Surat
The Monthon Surat (Thai: มณฑลสุราษฎร์, originally named Monthon Chumphon มณฑลชุมพร) was an administrative subdivision of Thailand in the beginning of the 20th century. It covered the northeastern part of Southern Thailand.
History
The monthon was established in 1896, with its administration located in Chumphon, containing the provinces Chumphon, Chaiya, Kanchanadit and Lang Suan. Kanchanadit was merged into Chaiya in 1899. In 1905 the monthon court was moved to the town Bandon.[1] When the province Chaiya was renamed to Surat Thani in 1915, the monthon was subsequently renamed to Surat.[2] In 1926 it was incorporated into the Monthon Nakhon Si Thammarat.[3]
