'Chaiya Market') is the one of two sub-district municipalities (''[[thesaban tambon]]'') in [[Chaiya|Chaiya District]], [[Surat Thani Province]], southern Thailand.

Talat Chaiya was built on the east of the [[State Railway of Thailand|Southern Railway]] in 1915 in the area of sub-district (''[[tambon]]'') Thung. Before that, this area was called Ban Don Rongthong ('golden factory village') because the [[Chinese race|Chinese]] from [[Phumriang Town|Phumriang]] (the old city of Chaiya) had built a gold factory there. When the government built the southern railway line passing it and built a [[Chaiya Railway Station|railway station]], people from Phumriang came to develop the new town on the area near a railway station.

The new town grew fast. The district office, police station, court, and prison were built in the town. Finally, the area was made a separate sub-district, Talat Chaiya in 1938.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=55|issue=ง|pages=3244–3245|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนแปลงเขตตำบลในจังหวัดสุราษฎร์ธานี|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2481/D/3244.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125102610/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2481/D/3244.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 25, 2012|date=December 26, 1938|language=Thai}}</ref>
